The Quit India movement in Odisha was at its peak towards the later part of August, 1942. The revolution took a very remarkable form in the undivided Koraput district. On August 24, 1942, indiscriminate firing on freedom fighters by the unruly British police on the bank of Turi river near Papadahandi led to death of 19 people while it left several others injured, hundreds arrested and many washed away in the flood waters of the river those who jumped into it for safety. To commemorate the day, a Sahid Minar, a martyrs’ memorial, was set up on the banks of Turi as a symbol of the sacrifice of the local revolutionaries on August 24, 1984. Many Unsung Heros is there, Still negleted.
