Jawahar Ghat Travel Map

Jawahar Ghat is situated behind the Thalassery Fort and is located at a distance of around 4 km from the destination. During the freedom struggle of India, the ghat served as a meeting point of thousands of revolutionaries. Under the British rule, meetings and rallies were banned on the beach. An important protest against the British rule took place here. The protest was organised under the leadership of P. K. Madhavan and P. K. Damodharan. It was attended by revolutionaries like Abu Master, Chathukutti, C.N. Balan, Kuniyil Krishnan and C.N. Karunakaran. Since protests were banned at this site, the police started firing to stop the protest. Abu Master and Chathukutti were shot dead and rest of them were arrested and sentenced to death.
