On the occasion, music school ‘Sur Samrat the Alauddin Kha Sangitangan’ arranged discussion and cultural programme with lawmaker AM Obaidul Moktadir Chowdhury in the chair. On January 12, a gang of miscreants set the music school on fire burning down almost all the musical instruments and furniture. The music school was established in 1956 by Ustad Ayat Ali Khan, another legendary musician and brother of Ustad Alauddin Khan. Allauddin Khan was born in 1862 and died on 6 September in 1972. Allauddin Khan was a multi-instrumentalist, composer and one of the most renowned music teachers of the 20th century in Indian classical music.
