NEW DELHI: Two roads in the Patparganj assembly constituency, which is represented by deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, have been named after two famous personalities of Uttarakhand—martyr Kesari Chand and folk singer Heera Singh Rana.
Rana was the first vice-president of an academy in Delhi to promote Garhwali, Kumaoni and Jaunsari languages. He showed glimpses of the beauty and struggles of Kumaon through his poems and songs. Chand was a soldier in the Azad Hind Fauj during the freedom struggle.
The C-Block Marg No. 4 in West Vinod Nagar ward is now called Late Hira Singh Rana Marg and the road from Vinod Nagar red light to Silver Line Hospital will now be known as Amar Shaheed Veer Kesari Chandra Marg.
