Delhi CM, L-G inaugurate park to commemorate freedom struggle and Satyagraha

The Hindu  

: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Lieutenant-Governor V.K Saxena jointly inaugurated the redeveloped Shaheedi Park on Tuesday. Shaheedi Park, billed as an “important outdoor museum park”, was at the centre of a political slugfest last week after the AAP-ruled MCD replaced the Bhagwa flag in the hands of a statue of Bharat Mata at the park with the Tricolour. I hope that people get to see them very soon.” Mr. Saxena said, “The park tells the story of the rebellion of 1857, culture and social awareness in the country, the Swadeshi movement and the Satyagraha, and the integration of various princely States into independent India,” the official said. ‘Unity and diversity’ “To enhance the beauty of the park, nearly 56,000 trees and shrubs of various varieties, including champa, kachnar, ficus, and syngonium, have been planted here,” a statement issued by the MCD read. This is the third park developed by the municipality on the “waste-to-wealth” theme, with the previous two being ‘Seven Wonders Park’ at Sarai Kale Khan and ‘Bharat Darshan Park’ at Punjabi Bagh.
