ThisDayThatYear: THE HUTATMAS OF HUTATMA CHOWK

Sunday November 21,2021 by Team Khaki

This day, 66 years ago, 15 people were killed and 300 injured as police resorted to firing at Oval Maidan to control a large morcha making its way to Vidhan Bhavan. The people killed were in a way the first martyrs for a Marathi-speaking state of Maharashtra. They and several others who died for the cause have been memorialised at the Hutatma Smarak at Hutatma Chowk.
