The move reaffirms the government’s commitment to preserve national heritage and promote responsible border tourism
In an initiative to boost tourism and align the local populace with the military heritage in this border region, the Army’s Golden Arrow Division has opened the historic two centuries old Ferozepur Fort to the public.
It is for the first time in over 200 years that this significant architectural and historical site has been made accessible to the public.
The move reaffirms the government's commitment to preserve national heritage and promote responsible border tourism, said Major General RS Manral, General Officer Commanding (GOC), Golden Arrow Division.
"Strategically positioned near the Indo-Pakistan border, Ferozepur Fort is a remarkable example of 19th-century military architecture from the Sikh empire" said the GOC, adding that its unique hexagonal design and robust defensive features showcase the strategic ingenuity of its time.
