Prepare plan to develop tribal martyrs’ site: PM to 4 states

MANGARH DHAM, BANSWARA: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday asked the governments of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra to prepare a roadmap for the overall development of Mangarh Dham — a historical site of uprising where 1,500 tribals were killed by the British.

“Over 1,500 tribals were killed in firing by the British on November 17, 1913. But unfortunately, in the history written after Independence, this event was not given its due place. Now, the country is correcting the mistake committed decades ago,” he told a gathering of tribals at a programme attended by the chief ministers of Rajasthan, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.
