These monuments were built to create awareness about the Sikh history amongst people. The inauguration was done by Badal just before the model code of conduct came in force in December last year. However, the administrative framework of these institutions is not yet ready and the recruitment process for the upkeep of the monuments is not yet complete.
On Thursday 26th May 2011, a UK delegation of Sikhs met with a delegation of Sikhs from Holland, to visit the Mayor of Ieper Mr Luc Dehaene and discussed initiatives to commemorate the thousands of Sikhs who had laid down their lives for the freedom of Europe.
