Parliament Street

and Tughlak Road police stations will soon be revamped to highlight their historical significance and connections to freedom fighter Bhagat Singh and Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi, officials said on Sunday.


The two police stations, which are drenched in multicolour lights every night, will soon have posters with quotes of Singh and Gandhi, reminding people about their contributions to the Indian freedom struggle.

Police said the idea is to celebrate the two legends and create awareness among people about their history associated with the police stations.

DCP (New Delhi) Deepak Yadav said, “Two of our police stations in the district — Parliament Street and Tughlak Road are heritage buildings. We are now putting up posters with quotes on the walls of the stations to commemorate memories of our freedom fighter Bhagat Singh and Gandhiji.”
