In 1993, the then chief minister Biju Patnaik inaugurated a memorial pillar at Ghess. The government declared December 31 to be observed as 'Birta Divas' in honour of Madho Singh and his family in 1997. "The sacrifice made by Madho Singh has no parallel in Indian history. Sadly, the freedom fighter has not received the kind of recognition he deserves," said Bibhuti Mishra, a historian.
