The Jan Chetna Manch today organised a three-day exhibition at Brahma Bhawan at Gohana in the district in the memory of the martyrs of the Kakori action of 1927.

Dr CD Sharma, founder of the manch, inaugurated the exhibition. A special section devoted to women warriors and freedom fighters, revolutionaries and martyrs of the Cellular Jail (Andamans) was added to the exhibition this year. A 15-minute documentary on the Kakori action was also shown to visitors, Sharma said.

He said that the exhibition was being organised for the past five years and people, particularly youths, were apprised about the supreme sacrifices made by Rajender Nath, Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfakulla Khan and Roshan Singh, who were hanged in different jails in the country on December 17 and 19, 1927.
