AMRITSAR, APRIL 9. The Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, will hand over the historic Gobindgarh Fort, which has been under the control of the Army since Independence, to the Punjab Government on April 14. The Army Chief, Gen. J.J. Singh, will accompany Dr. Singh on the occasion, Col. Paramvir Singh of the Panther Division told presspersons here. "It was a public request that the Gobindgarh Fort be handed over to civil administration to make the national heritage available for public viewing. Keeping that in view, a grand ceremony will be organised and the Prime Minister and the Army Chief will grace it,'' he said. A stage show will be organised depicting the glorious history of the fort since 1760, when it was built by Sikh leader Gujjar Singh to 1849 when it was taken over by the British Government. The Fort was also the official residence of the infamous commander of the British Government, Gen. Dyer.
