Shaheed Smarak is a life-size statue of seven brave young men who sacrificed their lives in the Quit India movement [August 1942], to hoist the national flag on the [now] Secretariat building.
These statues were cast in Italy and later placed here.
The foundation stone of Martyr’s Memorial was laid on August 15, 1947, by the governor of Bihar, Mr. Jairam Das Daulatram.
