Detail

Chandra Shekhar Azad Park (also known by its former name Alfred Park, and Company Bagh during the Company Raj) is a public park in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Located in George Town of Prayagraj, this park was established in 1870 as a significant mark of the arrival of Prince Alfred into the city. Company Gardens was further renamed as the Chandrashekar Azad Park in 1931 after the latter died as a martyr here.

It is therefore also called Alfred Park. During the rule of the British, it was known as Company Bagh and was renamed as Chandra Shekhar Azad Park after the Indian freedom fighter, after he killed himself at the spot in 1831 while fighting against the officers of the Raj.

Let's explore some of his most iconic Chandra Shekhar Azad slogan: “Dushman ki goliyon ka saamna karenge, Azad hi rahe hain, Azad hi rahenge.” (We will face the enemy's bullets, we are free, and we will remain free.)
