This is the same place at Alfred park in Allahabad where freedom fighter "Chandra Sekhar Azad" was killed by the British under a tree. Though the tree was cut subsequently, the place remained sacred for all patriotic Indians since then. Another tree was planted by the relatives of Azad but that too was never allowed to be worshipped by the British. The location of tree however, is still a mystery.
Post independence, a statue of Azad was erected by Government of India at the same location to allow people to pay tribute to this brave son of the motherland but unfortunately it has become a place for irresponsible citizens to rather disrespect the Hero.

Well, I am at loss as to how to comment on this. Other than instilling these values at childhood I dont see how we can overcome such blatant disregard. But then again maybe it is more to do with a person's personal values and honor as I can see the person in pic to be the one who jumps the signal when a policemen is not around to monitor. I hope you got what I am trying to say...
