"War museum in dire straitsThe Anglo-Sikh War Museum at Feroze Shah, 28 km from Ferozepur town, is a picture of neglect. The iron tripod bearing plaques that carry the mute testimony to the Anglo-Sikh wars fought at Feroze Shah, Sabraon, Misriwala and Mudki have rusted beyond recognition. The british Indian government had confirmed the same status for monuments at Misriwala and Mudki on April 13, 1923, and at Feroze Shah on April 13, 1927. BATHINDA/FEROZEPUR: At a time when voices are being raised to convert Bhagat Singh 's Ferozepur hideout into a museum, demand has been made to declare four memorials associated with Anglo-Sikh war to be again notified as protected monuments of national importance. The issue was raised in 2006, during Captain Amarinder Singh's previous tenure and a team of Union cultural affairs ministry had visited the spots.
