Patiya

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Patiya is a region in the Chittagong District in south-eastern Bangladesh. At present, it is an administrative unit titled upazila or Thana (subdivision / police station).

[edit] History

During the British rule, a police station was established in Patiya in 1845. It was upgraded to an upazila in 1984. The region saw a lot of revolutionary activities in the 1930s, when revolutionaries from Jugantar and the fugitives of the Chittagong armoury raid fought with British police. During the Bangladesh Liberation War, the area sustained heavy bombings from Pakistan Air Force [1].
