One cannot miss the sight of seven grey pillars standing tall amid a patch of greenery at the end of the road over-bridge in Tenali. The martyr’s memorial called Ranarang Chowk has emerged as the most enduring symbol of the spirited defiance shown by the people of the town in the heydays of the Quit India Movement.
The seven pillars have been erected in memory of the seven martyrs who were shot dead by police on August 12, 1942 during the Quit India Movement.
On Friday (Aug. 12), Tenali MLA Annabathuni Siva Kumar lined up a special programme to mark the occasion as the nation celebrates its 75th Independence Day.
