Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's special relation with Dalhousie

Born on 23 January 1897 in Cuttack, Odisha, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose has a special connection with Dalhousie. On 5 May 1937, Netaji came to Dalhousie. Earlier, the Britishers kept him in jail. where his health had deteriorated. Today we are remembering Netaji on the occasion of his 125th birth anniversary, and on this occasion, we are telling you about his days spent in Dalhousie.

Netaji was given medical help in Dalhousie

Seeing the deteriorating health of Netaji, he was released. After this Netaji came to Dalhousie with his friend Dr Dharamvir. He stayed in the residence of Dr. Dharamvir Kayans Estate Bungalow for about 6 months. He was also given a grand welcome when he arrived here at that time.

Bose used to drink spring water

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose took health care by staying here. During this, Netaji used to go daily to a natural spring, 3 km from there. The leader used to drink only the water of the perennial spring. Under the cool winds of deodar, Netaji became fully healthy. Since then, this spring was named after Subhash 'Baoli' after Netaji.

Maintenance of Memorial

A memorial has been erected at Subhash 'Baoli' in memory of Netaji. After this, no attention is being paid to the proper maintenance of the memorial. This is the reason that the condition of this memorial has become very pathetic. Now the question in such a situation is whether the responsibility is fulfilled only by building a memorial or it is also important to give them proper respect.

Reconstruction of Spring

The local people are demanding to build a new spring in the name of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. The condition of the road leading to Subhash 'Baoli' is also very poor. There is not even proper cleanliness arrangement in the spring. Dirt is to be seen all around spring.

Respect should be given to freedom Fighter

Drunk people throw empty bottles of liquor here. Due to which the honour and existence of the monuments are in danger. The government and administration should save the existence of the historical heritage of the monument. So, the sacrifice of great freedom fighters is not limited to books only.
