He also paid homage at the Revamped Memorial of the fallen heroes of the war in Rezang La theatre during the 1962 Sino-Indian conflict.
Now the general public, including the tourists, will be allowed to go to the memorial and border areas which will further popularise the legendary battle.
The move to inaugurate the revamped war memorial in Rezang La is seen as India’s show of strength in the area which is very close to the Chinese territory and is visible from the other side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
