00:00On 7th January 1915, the Shadra Thane was established at the same place where this Thane is presently.
00:23There are many beauties of this Thane.
00:29This Thane has seen many things in 110 years.
00:33It has seen floods in Jamuna Pass in 1924.
00:37It has seen floods in last year 2023.
00:40And it has seen floods in 1978 as well.
00:47The first FIR that was registered in this case was of house trespassing, house breaking.
00:54In which a person named Khazan Singh's house was robbed.
00:59And nothing could be done about the robbery.
01:01The thieves who entered the house at night, they turned on the lights.
01:06So, Khazan Singh got to know about it.
01:08And that thief ran away from there.
01:10Later that thief was caught as well.
01:12This Thane had a great importance of Shadra Thane.
01:19The revolutionaries of India who were struggling for freedom.
01:26Those people were brought here.
01:29Many prominent people were brought here.
01:31One of them is Sukhdev.
01:36In 1928, when the Saunders murder happened here.
01:42You know about 3 people.
01:46It is a very famous case.
01:47Sukhdev was brought here and kept here.
01:51At that time, we can't say exactly how many policemen used to live here.
01:56But this Thane used to be North District's Thane.
02:01There were 4 districts in Delhi.
02:03North, South, Central and New Delhi.
02:06And this was North District's Thane.
02:09There used to be 2 blocks in this.
02:11Gandhinagar and Parsh Bazar.
02:13There is a big difference between then and now.
02:16At that time, a big Safa was worn here.
02:19It was a very heavy cap.
02:22You can understand the meaning of that cap.
02:25Even today, that cap is worn.
02:27It is a part of uniform.
02:29It represents a helmet.
02:35It was a big Safa.
02:36At that time, Delhi Police used to wear short half pants.
02:40At that time, half pants were worn.
02:42And there are many facilities in today's world.
02:47At that time, there were no such facilities.
02:49When there was a call, the police used to go on a cycle or on foot.
02:55Here, I have called Ram Kishan Singh.
03:02He is retired from this Thane.
03:04He is 92 years old.
03:05He was admitted to this Thane as ASI in 1959.
03:10Our SHO is sitting behind me.
03:12And he retired from this Thane as an inspector in 1978.
03:18He will be able to shed light on the jurisdiction of this Thane.
03:22But yes, this Thane is an old Yamuna bridge.
03:27In today's date, we call it the Iron Bridge.
03:29This was the only connection to this Thane.
03:32Sir, let's assume that this Thane was the only Thane in the whole of Jammu and Kashmir.
03:38Yes.
03:39This was the only Thane.
03:41After this, the next Thane was Gani Nagar Thane.
03:45No.
03:46At that time, before independence, all this was under the British government.
03:53As I told you earlier, in the last 100 years,
03:56this Thane was used well before independence to keep the Indian revolutionaries.
04:04Sir, do you have the old records of the Thane that you want to show us?
04:08Yes.
