AMRITSAR: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today paid floral tributes at a memorial at the Jallianwala Bagh, where British troops had opened fire on thousands of unarmed Indians in April 1919.

Modi reached Bagh, after paying obeisance at the nearby Golden temple this evening. He stopped by the Martyr's Well, which is located inside the premises of the Jallianwala Bagh.

The Well stands testimony to the brutal killings of innocent who had no way to save themselves from the bullets fired by the soldiers of British Army on the orders of Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer, forcing many of them to jump into it.

The bullets that hit the walls and structures in the Jallianwala Bagh have been preserved. A memorial, made from red stone, has been erected in the shape of a flame to commemorate the people who lost their lives.

Modi also went around the Martyrs Gallery in the Jallianwala Bagh, which showcases various pictures, paintings and artifacts that were gathered from the park after the massacre.

He also underook a Parikrama of the 'Amar Jyoti', flame that burns round-the-clock, and has been placed at the location where the people had gathered during the Baisakhi Day on April 13, 1919.

Modi was accompanied by Punjab Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, Union Minister and Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur, State BJP President Kamal Sharma, among others, spent nearly 20 minutes at Jallianwala Bagh.
