Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today said the historic Kala Amb in Panipat will be developed a tourist destination after due permission of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
"Permission will be sought from ASI to develop the historic place of Kala Amb in Panipat as a national-level tourist destination," he told a function organised to commemorate 'Rajyabhishek Diwas of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj' here.
The road leading from village Ugra Kheri to the memorial will be named as 'Chhatrapati Shivaji Marg' and 'Shivaji Dwar' will be constructed in Panipat, he added.
A memorial of 'Hemchandra Vikramaditya' will be constructed in Saudapur village, he said, adding historical monuments will be built across the state to motivate youth.
Khattar said Rs five crore has already been announced to develop a monument at Kala Amb, which is visited by tourists from different states, especially Maharashtra.
A police station will also be established to provide security and the road connecting Baljit Nagar, Kala Amb with Raja Kheri village will be cemented.
The museum built in guest house of Irrigation Department will be shifted to Kala Amb.
Khattar said it was on this day about 350 years ago that 'Rajyabhishek' of Chhatrapati Shivaji was held and the people had got rid of the Mughal empire.
