Ghughu-danga Zamindar Bari

The ancient village Ghughudanga is situated on the east side of Purnobhoba River and 8 miles away from Dinajpur Sadar at Auliapur Union.

It is known that the annual lease rent amount (Land Tax for the British Indian Government only) of this Estate stood to the tune of Rupees one lakh that time.

Due to the promulgation of the State Acquisition Act, the financial stability of this Zamindar family started declining gradually.

Afterwards, most members of the Ghugudanga Zamindar family started living by constructing their own houses in Eidgah Residential Area of Dinajpur Town.

[1] On the night of 25 March 1971, after the start of genocide by Pakistan, a camp was established in Ghughudanga with the Bengalis of Dinajpur, Army, EPR, police, 1500 freedom fighters, 22 vehicles and with many weapons.

The public and private officers and common people of Dinajpur town took shelter in Ghughudanga Zamindar bari, for fear of the murderous Pakistani Army.
