Prime Minister Narendra Modi will🦩 on Monday virtually inaugurate a model of a propo🥂sed memorial dedicated to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose in Andaman and Nicobar Islands to commemorate the freedom fighter's 126th birth anniversary.

The proposed memorial will be set up on Ross Island, which had been renamed as Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose𒁏 Dweep in 2018.

It will have a museum, a cable car ropeway, a laser-and-sound show, a guided heritage trail through historical buildings and a thꦬeme-bas🍸ed children's amusement park, besides a restro lounge, an official said.

The virtual inauguration of the model will be followওed by PM Mo♊di’s speech to the nation.

The PM will also participate in a ceremony to name 21 uninhaౠbited islands in the union territory after Parꦯam Vir Chakra awardees.

“The central government has taken this initiative to honour the Param Vir Chakra awardees. Of the 21 islands, 16 are located in North and Middle Andaman district, and five in South Andaman," the of🌱ficial said.

Notably, Union Home Minister Amit Shah arrived in Port Bla෴ir on Sunday night for a two-day visit to the archipelago, where he is scheduled to address a public meeting on the occasion of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's 126th birth anniversary, besides taking stock of development activities.

Shah is likely to hoist the national flag during the day and deliver a public speech at Netaji Stadium – the same place where ✱the freedom fighter had unfurled the Tricolour on December 30, 1943.

Back then, the stadium used to be known as 🧜Gymkhana Ground.

Shah is also♔ likely to visit the Cel𓃲lular Jail here.
