Officials said that the Hindi presentation will be held at 7 pm every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. On Saturdays and Sundays, visitors will have two options — 7 pm to 7.35 pm and 8 pm to 8.35 pm. The show was developed under an estimated Rs 8.95 crore initiative executed by Headquarters Central Command in partnership with UP govt and UP State Tourism Development Corporation.
Tourism and Culture minister Jaiveer Singh said the fixed schedule would make it easier for families, students and tourists to include the memorial in their evening plans. The courage and sacrifice of our soldiers should reach every generation, and this show presents that legacy in a form that people can see, hear and remember,” he said. The tourism department said the Smritika show would offer visitors an opportunity to experience military history in an engaging format while adding another destination to Lucknow’s evening tourism itinerary.
The show will remain closed on Mondays and Thursdays. “Under CM Yogi, the state govt is creating tourism experiences that allow people to engage with history in a more direct and memorable way. Smritika, the Central Command War Memorial, is dedicated to the valour and sacrifice of personnel of the Indian Armed Forces .
