Fatehgarh Sahib-road named after Diwan Todar Mal who cremated Sahibzadas of Guru Gobind Singh

To promote the legacy of Diwan Todar Mal who defied Mughals to cremate the two youngest Sahibzadas of the 10th Sikh master, Guru Gobind Singh, the government has decided to name the road connecting Jahaz Haweli to the main road as Diwan Todar Mal Marg in Fatehgarh Sahib.
PWD and School Education Minister Vijay Inder Singla said it was a matter of utmost respect for the state government to mark the contribution of Diwan Todar Mal as the road connecting to his residence, Jahaz Haweli, has been named after him.
The minister said it was a small step to express gratitude towards his extraordinarily courageous deed as when Chhote Sahibzade were bricked alive by Mughals after they refused to renounce their faith and after nobody agreed to spare land for their cremation, Diwan Todar Mal purchased a small piece of land by covering it with gold coins. Diwan Todar Mal also performed the cremation after getting the bodies from the Mughals.
