A senior defence minister had earlier confirmed that the cost of building the National War Memorial is Rs 176 crore.
It comprises a 15.5-metre tall tower, with an eternal flame and 16 circular walls of honour on which names of almost 26,000 soldiers have been written in gold on granite walls. The pattern of the walls symbolise Chakravyuh, the ancient India war formation.
The design of the memorial includes four concentric circles, named 'Amar Chakra', 'Veerta Chakra', 'Tyag Chakra' and 'Rakshak Chakra'.
The timing of National war memorial
Statues of at 21 Param Vir Chakra awardees have also been installed at the Param Yoddha Sthal and includes those of three living awardees.
Then came Narendra Modi in 2014. In the build-up to the Lok Sabha elections 2014, Modi slammed the previous regime for failing to construct the war memorial and said it pained him that the country had no national memorial to honour its fallen heroes.
A proposal to build the war memorial was finally passed a year later on October 2015 and Rs 500 crore was cleared for building the memorial and museum; almost Rs 176 crore was sanctioned to construct the memorial.
In May 2016, the Union Cabinet was briefed about the Empowered Apex Steering Committee's decision that Princess Park Complex near India Gate would be suitable for construction of the National War Museum. As for the memorial, a decision was taken to construct it at "C" Hexagon of India Gate.
