The National War Memorial Southern Command in Pune Cantonment
The National War Memorial Southern Command is a war memorial in Pune Cantonment, India dedicated to Post Independence war martyrs. This is the only war memorial in South Asia which has been erected by citizens contributions.[1] The memorial was unveiled and dedicated to the nation on August 15, 1998. A Mig 23 BN, which was used in the Kargil War, has been kept on display at the memorial.[1] A replica of the now decommissioned frigate Portuguese-Indian War and the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, is also kept on display.
Recently, the Pune Cantonment Board sanctioned a sum of Rs 32,00,000 for renovation of the memorial.[2] The work included laying a new lawn, landscaping and laying pathways for visitors.[1]
