The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet approved a proposal for construction of a zoological garden named after Shaheed Ashfaqullah Khan in Gorakhpur.
At present, there are two zoological gardens in Uttar Pradesh, one in Lucknow and another in Kanpur.
Freedom fighter Ashfaqullah Khan was sentenced to death along with Ram Prasad Bismil for the Kakori train robbery, commonly known as the Kakori conspiracy of 1925.
