Srinagar, Jan 23 (KNO): The Balidan Stumb at Pratap Park in Srinagar is set to become a focal point on Republic Day (January 26), as the officials, including the Deputy Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Surinder Kumar Choudhary are expected to visit and pay floral tributes to the martyrs. The venue has been secured and public entry to the Balidan Stumb has been prohibited for the high-profile visit on January 26.
