Chief Minister Hemant Soren inspected the Birsa Smriti Park and Museum under construction at the Birsa Munda Jail Complex on Circular Road.
The CM has given strict instructions not to see any laxity in the ambitious project after closely observing the renovation work of the jail building spread over 28 acres and the construction of Birsa Smriti Park.
The CM said that the room in Birsa Aba Jail where his days were spent should also have his statue so that visitors can get to know their valour and struggle closely. “This ambitious project is related to Bhagwan Birsa Munda ji, always work with this in mind. Only after being assured of the quality of work, the government should hand over the premises, because the government will not tolerate any kind of lethargy. It is paramount to take care of the dignity and grandeur of Birsa Smriti Park,” he said.
During the inspection, the CM watched a documentary film based on the biography of Bhagwan Birsa Munda in different zones at the Museum. He also instructed to write biographies of other martyrs such as Sido-Kanhu, Nilambar-Pitambar, Diva Kishun, Gaya Munda, Telanga Khadia, Jatra Tana Bhagat, Veer Budhu Bhagat etc in Hindi, English and Mundari and other regional languages.
The CM directed to improve the earthen house built on the premises given the appearance of the village in the jail and also to keep it covered. He said that the earthen house has to be made better. The CM ordered no more molestation in the old jail. He said that work should be done keeping in mind the importance of jail.
In the course of inspection, the Chief Minister tested the quality of tiles being installed in museums and parks and questioned the authorities on the uprooted tiles. Seeing the poor quality of the plants brought to the park, the CM was angry and immediately directed to remove these plants and plant healthy plants and equips the park.
In order to inspect the park for about two hours, the CM looked at the War Memorial, parking area, food court and drainage system. After this, he directed officials to make many changes in it. The CM said that the drainage system should not deteriorate under any circumstances. Arrange for water harvesting in the campus, so that the ground water level of the area can be maintained properly.
