In 1951, people were restricted from going inside the place and a Jute association was opened at the place. Every year, on 25th September, local people visit the place but no one is allowed to enter the gate. Everyone pays tribute from outside the campus.

My duty was to make you aware of what you were never taught. Your duty is to research more on your own and get knowledge about what you were never taught because of Nehruvian historians. Share and Tell everyone about the real freedom fighters who sacrificed themselves.
