Speaking to the media, the Minister announced that the inauguration of Sainya Dham is proposed for 9 November, coinciding with the Silver Jubilee of Uttarakhand’s formation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to attend the event.

The Minister informed that the memorial will feature stories of revered soldiers such as Baba Harbhajan Singh and Baba Jaswant Singh. It will also include a museum, a theatre, and a light and sound show highlighting the courage and sacrifice of Indian soldiers.
He added that, after its completion, Sainya Dham will become a symbolic pilgrimage site where visitors will come to honour the martyrs and learn about their heroism. Joshi instructed officials to prioritise key works, including the Nakshatra Vatika and other essential facilities.
