Chattogram Bureau :
Chittagong City Corporation (CCC) is taking initiative to transform the ‘European Club’ in the foothills of the city, which is reminiscent of the anti-British movement, into a museum.
To this end, the company will soon start talks with the railways in Bangladesh. The existing club in place of the railway has the office of the Divisional Engineer of Eastern Railway. Meanwhile, the Minister of Information and Broadcasting on Friday afternoon. Hasan Mahmud and City Mayor Rezaul Karim Chowdhury visited the European Club. At this time, he requested the city mayor to turn the European club into a museum. The mayor then promised the minister to take necessary steps to make the museum.
Dr. Hasan Mahmud said Pahartali European Club in Chittagong is a historical place. In 1932, Pritilata Waddedar, a revolutionary leader in the anti-British armed movement, attacked in an attempt to seize the club. In that attack, Pritilata Waddedar was captured by the British. She sacrificed his life to protect the privacy of his party.
