New Delhi: Proposals to construct a war memorial and a war museum are under "active consideration" of the government, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar told Parliament on Tuesday.
"A proposal to construct a National War Memorial and National War Museum to commemorate our brave soldiers who have made the supreme sacrifice for the country, is under active consideration," Mr Parrikar said in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha.
The long-delayed national war memorial for Indian soldiers, first proposed in the 1960s, was approved by a Group of Ministers of the then United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government in 2012, but it could not take off.
