'freedom struggle cases', the Vice President said. The Cellular Jail also houses the Eternal Flame and Martyrs' Column as atribute. Originally the jail was a massive three-storeyed structure with sevenwings radiating from central fulcrum on which stood a watch tower. The jailcould accommodate 690 inmates. The jail holds many horrific stories of the suffering of the heroes of our strugglefor independence, who were unjustly incarcerated in this jail. But this pre-Independence penal institution is also a symbol of the brave resistance put up byour freedom fighters against the tyranny, oppression and injustice of the foreignrule, the Vice President added in the FB post. In the visitor's book kept in the Cellular Jail, the Vice President wrote"M. Venkaiah Naidu visited Cellular Jail along with children and grandchildren.
