Martyr Ramsagar Gupta's Memorial Rescued from Neglect After Two-Year Battle

• In 2017, an Ashoka Pillar dedicated to Martyr Ramsagar Gupta was discovered neglected amidst jungle and bushes near Fefna, Ballia.
• Social worker Sagar Singh Rahul pledged to renovate the memorial after local leaders failed to act.
• Initial renovation efforts faced resistance and encroachment issues, leading to a tense confrontation that was eventually resolved with community support.
• Despite a companion breaking an arm during the arduous two-year process, the team persevered to restore the memorial.
• A video showing the neglected memorial prompted then-SP Shreeparna Ganguly to initiate a major cleanup and development, transforming the area.
