The restoration work of the historical Jahaz Haveli of Diwan Todar Mal in Punjab’s Fatehgarh Sahib will be carried out in its original form by the Diwan Todar Mal Virasti Foundation. Diwan Todal Mal was a 17th-century merchant who purchased the land for the cremation of the younger Sahibzadas of the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, namely Baba Zorawar Singh and Baba Fatehgarh Singh, along with Mata Gujri after their martyrdom.
Punjab minister Tarunpreet Singh Sond inaugurated the restoration work Sunday. Sond said that Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann had directed that whatever work was to be done by the Punjab government for this cause should be done on a priority basis, and the foundation should not face any kind of problem.
