Gautam Gambhir Seeks To Rename Yamuna Sports Complex After Bhagat Singh

In a letter to the DDA's vice-chairman, the BJP lawmaker appealed to the urban body to install a huge statue of the revolutionary at the main entrance of the complex.

East Delhi MP Gautam Gambhir has urged the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to rename the Yamuna Sports Complex after freedom fighter Bhagat Singh, saying this will be a "small step" in paying respect to the great revolutionary. In a letter to the DDA's vice-chairman, the BJP lawmaker also appealed to the urban body to install a huge statue of the revolutionary at the main entrance of the complex. The sprawling Yamuna Sports Complex in east Delhi is one of the major sporting venues in the national capital. The appeal from the MP comes ahead of India entering the 75th year of its Independence, which the Centre has planned to commemorate in a big way.
