Flag Staff Tower (Delhi Ridge)

May 11, 1857 - Siege of Delhi! 




As the rebels entered the city.. the British fled towards the Northwest regions of Delhi and the FLAG STAFF TOWER in the ridge area provided safe shelter to the women and children for a night.. but with no hopes of getting reinforcements anytime soon they had to flea further towards Karnal!!
