Noted freedom fighter and advocate Ananta Nath Chatterji (94) passed away at his residence at Santasahi village here on Sunday following protracted age-related ailments. He is survived by his widow, two sons, three daughters and grandchildren.
Chatterji was among a few who had flatly turned down the pension doles for freedom fighters from the Government. People from different walks of life paid their last respects and deeply condoled Chatterji’s death. Chatterji had plunged into the 1942 Quit India Movement in Kendrapada when he was hardly 13 years old aling with his elder brother Amar Nath Chatterji and was sent to the Patna Central Jail where he spent two years.
