Park in the Tallest Victory Tower in Punjab India

The monument, inaugurated in November 2011, is the tallest victory tower in the country commemorating the victory of the Sikh forces under Banda Singh Bahadur over Mughal Governor Wazir Khan. Baba Banda Singh Bahadur Memorial will be constructed at Chappar Chiri village by the Punjab Heritage and Education Foundation. Mr Gurbax Singh Shergill, president of the foundation, said that the memorial would be built in the shape of a 51-feet high victory pillar (Fateh Bunga) in the centre of a 30 ft wide circular water point on a raised ground which would be beautifully landscaped. The entire project would be undertaken by the village panchayat through kar seva. He said that Mr Thakur Singh Basati from Chicago would be the project in charge and would raise the required funds with the help of Sikhs and Punjabis in the USA and other NRIs from this area. The project would be managed and executed under the Baba Banda Singh Bahadur Memorial Trust comprising representatives of Chappar Chiri panchayat and eminent social workers of the adjoining area, including Mohali and Chandigarh.
