Shapla Chattar(City area)

Located in the heart of Rangpur city, 'Shapla Chattar' is not just a traffic intersection, but the gateway to North Bengal and an integral symbol of modern Rangpur.

Its geographical importance as the city center is immense; on one hand, it connects the main commercial hubs of Rangpur city, and on the other, it serves as a bridge between the city and the Dhaka-Rangpur highway.

To the locals, it is better known as 'Shapla Mor'.

The beautiful sculpture built in the shape of a water lily (Shapla) right in the middle of the square welcomes travelers from afar, and it has now become one of the most recognizable landmarks of Rangpur city.

Numerous commercial buildings, banks, insurance companies, and modern shopping malls have sprung up around Shapla Chattar.

The Rangpur Railway Station and the central bus terminal are located a short distance away, keeping the area bustling with activity at all times.

Historically, this square has been a witness to various political and social movements.

In particular, it is historically significant as the focal point for any meeting or rally held to voice the demands of the masses in Rangpur.

The cultural and political consciousness of this area was enriched by the late national leader Mashiur Rahman Jadu Mia, whose ideals and memory remain indelible in the hearts of the people of this region.

All in all, Shapla Chattar is the pulse of Rangpur, where there is a wonderful blend of tradition and modernity.
