PM Modi Urges People To Visit Railway Stations Linked To Freedom Struggle

PM Modi urged the teachers to take the children of their school to their nearby station and narrate the whole chain of events (of freedom struggle) to those children.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said many railway stations in the country are rich in history and urged people to visit such stations in their vicinity to know about their significance in the freedom struggle.

The railways observed a week of 'Azadi ki Rail Gadi', from July 18-23, through 27 trains and 75 railway stations, across 24 states that are linked to the Indian freedom struggle.

In these 75 stations, apart from the usual decorations of lights and other ornamentations, events such as street plays in local language, light-and-sound shows, display of patriotic films and songs were also played.

"These 75 stations are being decorated very ornately. Many types of programmes are also being organized in these stations. You should also take out time to visit one such historical station in your vicinity. You will get to know in detail about pages from the history of the freedom movement that you have not been aware of.
