After paying the floral tributes to the martyrs Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev, the Union Minister said that the central government would soon construct a museum at the memorial so that the visitors, who come here from all across the world, could know more about those martyrs who made prime sacrifices for their mother nation.
