About Chandrashekhar Azad Park
Alfred Park, laid out in 1870 and renamed for Chandrashekhar Azad, who was cornered here by police on 27 February 1931 and shot himself with his last bullet rather than be taken. A statue marks the tree. The park is 133 acres and holds the Allahabad Museum, the Public Library in the old Thornhill Mayne building and morning walkers by the thousand.
