Standing over the
keane bridge, if anybody peers down will catch the sight of Ali Amzad clock. It
is said that, Ali Amzad , Zamidar of Pritrimpasa was invited to see
Delhi and thereby charmed by the clock made with the instigation of the
princess of Delhi. He also craved to build the same and ultimately made it with
the similar design & pattern. It's now called Ali Amzad watch, located at Chadnighat, Sylhet. At far sight, one can easily guess it as a church,
because of its structure. I find the architecture of it is
also interesting Tower is standing one an octagonal base,
clock chamber is rectangular and lastly the crest of tower is a triangular
pyramid. Unlike other two dials this is not a part of a big
building, it is build only to be a clock tower, and this is the best
distinctive feature of this clock tower with others of Bangladesh. The clock is
now active after a long time break. District Council of Sylhet maintains and
provide mechanical support, these days.
this clock is unique and
notable attraction to tourist.
