Sambhal received a significant developmental boost on Friday as five major projects were inaugurated, marking a renewed focus on security, accessibility, and cultural revival. Moradabad Divisional Commissioner Anjaneya Kumar Singh unveiled a 101-ft tall national flag, opened two Accessible Knowledge Centres for specially-abled children, and inaugurated a high-tech Security Control Room equipped with 250 surveillance cameras at Satyavrat Police Outpost.
A Step Toward a Safer and Stronger Sambhal
The initiatives were launched as part of efforts that began after the violent incidents in Sambhal on 24 November last year, aiming to strengthen public security and restore confidence. Commissioner Singh said the projects represent “a decisive move towards making Sambhal a secure, aware, and culturally empowered district.”
The two newly launched Accessible Knowledge Centres, located in Asmoli and Sambhal, will provide modern facilities for the education, training, and skill development of specially-abled children.
“Children with disabilities are the strength of our society, and ensuring their self-reliance is everyone’s responsibility,” Singh said.
101-Ft National Flag Becomes Symbol of a New Beginning
The 101-ft tricolour was unfurled near the Ashoka Pillar at Chaudhary Sarai Police Outpost.
According to Commissioner Singh, the towering flag “not only beautifies Sambhal’s skyline but also symbolizes the new identity and vision of the district. It will inspire pride in every citizen.”
City-Wide Surveillance Network Strengthened
Following last year’s violence, security infrastructure in Sambhal has been significantly upgraded.
- 250 modern CCTV cameras have been installed at the Satyavrat Police Outpost
- A Hi-Tech Control Room will monitor activities round the clock
- Across the city, 1,300 surveillance cameras have been deployed to ensure 24×7 monitoring
Women’s safety has been listed as the administration’s top priority, in line with directives from the Chief Minister.
Historic Sites Revived: Chakki Paat Restored
In a major cultural preservation initiative, the historic Chakki Paat, believed to have been established during wartime by legendary warriors Alha and Udal, has been restored by the municipal body.
The stone structure, which was damaged two years ago, has been “beautifully revived,” Singh said, calling it “the soul of Sambhal, bearing the presence of Maharaja Prithviraj.”
Tirth and Kuo Heritage Sites Inaugurated
Commissioner Singh also inaugurated one of Sambhal’s Chaturmukh Kuas (four-faced wells)—one of the district’s 19 historic wells across 68 pilgrimage sites. He inspected the Yam Tirth, emphasizing that these five development works “hold the power to transform Sambhal’s future and give the district and the state a new identity.”
The event was attended by DM Dr. Rajendra Pansiya, SP Krishna Kumar Vishnoi, City Magistrate Sudhir Kumar, Municipal Chairperson Mushir, EO Manibhushan Tiwari, and several other senior officials.
