Amar Jawan Jyoti Flame

A memorial for martyred soldiers and personnel of other security forces on the lines of the Amar Jawan Jyoti flame would be built in Raipur, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said on Saturday.

Rahul Gandhi's Republic Day greetings on Twitter highlighted the Amar Jawan Jyoti or eternal flame at India Gate, which has now been merged with the one at the National War Memorial.

The Amar Jawan Jyoti or "eternal flame" for soldiers was put out at India Gate in Delhi on Friday, 50 years after it was first lit, and merged with the torch at the National War Memorial in a military ceremony.

The Amar Jawan Jyoti, the eternal flame for soldiers at India Gate, will be put out and "merged" with the flame at the new National War Memorial inaugurated in 2019. The government says the flame is a colonial relic.

The eternal flame at Amar Jawan Jyoti is not being extinguished, but is being merged with the flame at the adjoining National War Memorial, government sources said amid criticism over the move.

After burning for 50 years, the eternal flame of Amar Jawan Jyoti at the India Gate lawns will be extinguished forever. The torch will now be merged with the National War Memorial's torch at a programme today, days ahead of the Republic Day.

In a historical step days before Republic Day, the Amar Jawan Jyoti flame at the India Gate lawns would be extinguished and merged with the flame at the National War Memorial on Friday.

The nation will get a new eternal flame on Monday when Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurates the National War Memorial, but Amar Jawan Jyoti will continue as it is an "inseparable" part of the country''s history, defence officials said Sunday.
