On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his gratitude to the employees who made a significant contribution to the development and construction of the new Parliament building in New Delhi.
The new Parliament building was dedicated by the Prime Minister, who also installed the revered “Sengol” within. He thanked the employees.
Puranjan Dalai, an honoree from Odisha, was one of those Modi honoured. According to accounts, he is from the Balasore district’s Chandipur. When the landmark edifice was officially opened, Modi honoured Puranjan and others with traditional shawls and presented them with souvenirs.
Puranjan, whose motto is “hard work and dedication to mankind,” worked on the project site when the new Parliament building was being built.
Along with Purandar, the prime minister also honoured workers from West Bengal’s Satyaranjan Das, Jharkhand’s Ram Murmu and Azaz Ahmed, Rajasthan’s Kishan Lal, Gujarat’s Devlal, Bihar’s Anil Kumar Yadav and Subrata Sutradhar, New Delhi’s Dharmendra Jee, and Uttar Pradesh’s Varanasi’s Anand Viswakarma.
After doing puja this morning, the Prime Minister dedicated the new Parliament building to the country and placed the revered “Sengol” from Tamil Nadu next to the Speaker’s chair in the Lok Sabha.
Before it was installed in the new structure, the Prime Minister received the ancient “Sengol” from high priests of several adheenams or maths in Tamil Nadu. Sengol was chosen by Modi as the Amrit Kaal’s national emblem.
This is the identical Sengol that Jawaharlal Nehru, the country’s first prime minister, accepted at his home on the evening of August 14 in front of a number of dignitaries.
