The memorial for 22,500 soldiers who were killed in the line of duty will be located in the heart of the capital. Last year, the government sanctioned 500 crores for the project and a museum that will be housed nearby.
A statement from the government last year said, "The memorial will promote a sense of patriotism in the minds of visitors, and will award an opportunity to citizens of this vast nation, to express their token sense of gratitude to the brave soldiers, who laid down their lives for the motherland."
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had tweeted, "The National War Memorial will be a perfect tribute to our brave soldiers who have given their lives for the nation."
The government stressed that the memorial will honour not just those who died during war, but soldiers killed in counter-insurgency and anti-terror operations.
