(File) Mahatma Gandhi’s portrait atop the ‘Swarn Jayanti Dwar’; (right) The visitor’s gallery after it was renovated sans the portrait. In the new visitors’ gallery, which has enhanced seating arrangements, the Swarn Jayanti Dwar no longer has the Father of the Nation’s image. Earlier, the Mahatma’s portrait used to be in the middle of Swarn Jayanti Dwar facing Pakistan, with the Tricolour on top. Asked about the missing Mahatma Gandhi portrait, Executive Engineer, CPWD, Amritsar, Pushpinder Singh, said he was not authorised to speak with the media.
