After 50 years, the Amar Jawan Jyoti, or “eternal flame” for the warriors at India Gate, will be extinguished on Friday and combined with the flame at the National War Memorial. A portion of the Jyoti will be taken to the memorial this afternoon. The government said a lot of misinformation was flowing as a result of the decision, which has been widely criticized. “The flame of the Amar Jawan Jyoti will not be extinguished. The flame of the National War Memorial is being mixed with it,” the government said.
