A senior official of the Andaman and Nicobar<\/a> Islands Integrated Development Corporation Limited (ANIIDCO) briefed him about the proposed national memorial dedicated to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. <\/p>\n

In the evening, Gadkari will visit the Cellular Jail National Memorial<\/a> in Port Blair, an official said. <\/p>\n

The Cellular Jail, entirely made up of individual cells for solitary confinement of prisoners, has been preserved as a national memorial and attracts visitors round the year.<\/p>\n

At the Cellular Jail National Memorial, he will visit Martyrs’ Column and lay a wreath on the memorial of freedom fighters. <\/p>\n

He will also visit ‘Swantantraya Jyot’, a tribute to thousands of freedom fighters who suffered incarceration in the prison during the freedom struggle. <\/p>\n

On December 29, the Union minister will visit Swaraj Dweep<\/a> (previously known as Havelock Island) and stay there till December 30. <\/p>\n

Sources said he would leave the archipelago on January 1.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
