Naseeruddin Memorial Hall
Naseeruddin Memorial Hall is a landmark in the city of Lakhimpur in Lakhimpur Kheri district, Uttar Pradesh, India.
History[edit]
The East India Company, originally built Willoughby Memorial Hall in 1924, was commemorated to Sir Robert William Douglas Willoughby, Deputy Commissioner of Kheri, who was killed on 26 August 1920.[1] The colonial authorities apprehended independence activists Naseeruddin Mauzi Nagar and Rajnarayan Mishra on charges of shooting the Deputy Commissioner, and sentenced them to death by hanging.[2] On 26 April 1936, Willoughby Memorial Library was established. The Willoughby Memorial Hall was recently renamed the Naseeruddin Memorial Hall.[citation needed]
