Biplob Udyan, Public park in Chittagong, Bangladesh
Biplob Udyan is a 2-acre park near Gate No. 2 of Chittagong, built in memory of Pritilata Waddedar, the revolutionary woman of the city's anti-British movement. Its gate is formed of plants spelling the park's name, and a concrete umbrella stands among the flower beds. A separate zone is set aside for children, and a sculpture called Swadhinata Stambha depicts events from the 1952 Language Movement to the 1971 Victory Day.
The garden opened in 1979 on two acres near Chittagong's No. 2 Gate, named for Pritilata Waddedar, the revolutionary woman of the city's anti-British movement. In late 2019 the city corporation planned its modernisation, and in November of that year leased it for 20 years to Reform Limited of Dhaka and Style Living Architect Limited of Chittagong, with about one acre including the surrounding footpath.
