Ludhiana, April 8 -- In a move aimed at restoring the city's military heritage, the municipal corporation on Monday night shifted the Patton tank, captured by 1965 war hero martyr Major Bhupinder Singh, back to its original location at Bharat Nagar Chowk after nearly 30 years.

The overnight operation, carried out at around 1 am, involved three cranes and a trailer to transport the tank from near the Rose Garden to the chowk. Officials said the shifting process took around four hours to complete.

A base has already been prepared at the site where the tank has been placed, while work to install the statue will be completed in the coming days. The MC has allocated Rs.14.86 lakh for shifting and tiling work for the memorial.
