The statue made by Surjit Singh Gill is restored at Desh Bhagat Park in Ghall Kalan village. Situated at a drive of nearly one hour and 15 minutes from Bathinda, the park is full of statues of martyrs, sports personalities, freedom fighters, social workers, musicians, singers and those who have contributed in the other fields.
“I left Punjab government’s job to fully indulge myself to create such statues by which people, especially youngsters and children could learn something. My aim is to build as many statues of people who have contributed for the society in one way or the other,” Surjit said.
The statue instills a spirit of sports among those who come and see such a huge statue standing tall among the others.
Surjit is busy these days making statue of the president of a Chandigarh-based NGO who is fighting against drunken driving and consumption of drugs by creating hole in his own pockets without any outside help.
Appreciating the efforts of Surjit Singh, the SSP said the development of park by Surjit, without getting any government grant, was a great Endeavour.
