Sagar Watch News/ Sagar city took another step towards cultural development with the bhoomi pujan ceremony for the beautification of Bhagwan Parshuram Chowk, one of the city’s busiest intersections. The project aims to improve traffic flow while also strengthening the city’s cultural identity.
Addressing the programme, Mayor Mrs Sangeeta Tiwari said the occasion was a matter of pride for the entire city. She described Bhagwan Parshuram as a symbol of justice, bravery, penance, and social harmony, and said giving the chowk a planned and beautiful look would further strengthen Sagar’s cultural consciousness.
“Beautification is not just about bricks and stones. It reflects a city’s thinking, its identity, and the legacy we leave for future generations,” the Mayor said.
She assured that the work at Bhagwan Parshuram Chowk would be completed within the stipulated time and with high quality. She also highlighted that after the naming of Civil Lines Chowk as Bhagwan Parshuram Chowk, several positive initiatives for the Vipra (Brahmin) community have taken shape in the city.
She cited examples such as the inauguration of a building in Shivaji Ward in the name of Bhagwan Parshuram and the construction of another large building near Maa Harsiddhi Temple in Baghraj Ward.
“All this has been possible because of unity. There is strength in organisation, as our scriptures also say,” she added.
The Mayor further informed that the Municipal Council has already approved her announcement to install the world’s tallest 35-foot statue of Bhagwan Parshuram, which will be erected in the coming time with public consensus.
MLA Mr Shailendra Kumar Jain called the occasion a moment of great fortune for Sagar. He thanked the Mayor, Municipal Corporation leadership, BJP district president, and MIC members for renaming and beautifying the Civil Lines Chowk in the name of Bhagwan Parshuram.
“Great personalities are the nation’s assets. For the statue of Bhagwan Parshuram, land will be taken either from government or private sources, and its cost will be duly paid,” he said.
He informed that half an acre of land has been cleared in Baghraj Ward for the Bhagwan Parshuram building, and the Madhya Pradesh government has sanctioned ₹70 lakh for its construction. He thanked Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav for the support. The MLA also announced that he would contribute funds from private sources or his MLA fund for installing the statue of Bhagwan Parshuram.
Mr Jain praised the Municipal Corporation for developing Vande Mataram Chowk and said that beautification work, including statues of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Jijabai, and Rani Ahilyabai on Sanjay Drive, would be completed within 15 days. He also shared plans to hold discussions on installing statues of Lord Shiva and Lord Hanuman on Sagar’s hills.
BJP District President Mr Shyam Tiwari congratulated the Mayor, MIC members, and the Municipal Corporation for the historic decision to name the busy chowk after Bhagwan Parshuram.
“Such cultural and creative works inspire future generations,” he said, adding that this was a long-standing demand of the Brahmin community.
He highlighted that the BJP government has worked for all communities by providing community halls and naming roads after martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the nation. He also suggested installing a name plaque at Bhagwan Parshuram Chowk and said that a grand statue should be established there in the future.
The programme concluded with expressions of gratitude to public representatives and citizens for their suggestions, cooperation, and support, reaffirming the city’s commitment to balanced development that preserves both progress and tradition.
