Nepal was reeling under the brutal regime of Rana oligarchy for about a century. People were trying to come out of the suffocation of that closed society. They had already started different civic movements to free themselves from the fetters of autocracy. On Magh 14, 1997 BS came one of the saddest moments for the fighters of civil liberty. On the very black day, Rana rulers were going to hang Dasharath Chanda and Ganga Lal Shrestha, for their fearless revolt against them. They were being taken to central jail from Singha Durbar for capital punishment. Their immediate family members were called for the last meeting with them. So Ganga Lal’s father and brothers rushed to the scene.Ganga Lal Shrestha was a Nepalese revolutionary who was executed by the autocratic Rana regime. He is honoured as one of the four martyrs of the Nepalese revolution.
