Summary:
The Maharashtra Police plans to construct a martyrs’ gallery inside the state police office in Colaba as part of a renovation of the heritage building. After housing officers and sailors for several decades, it served as the state Assembly until the construction of the Vidhan Sabha. In early 1980s, the state police set up its headquarters there. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who attended the conference, had suggested creating a webpage dedicated to Martyrs’ Day. However, in the space of two months, information on only 301 out of a total 776 martyrs were sent to the police headquarters in Mumbai..
