The name “Gun Gach” is familiar to everyone in Cox’s Bazar. This century-old tree has become a refuge for many, offering shade and shelter during storms, rain, or intense sunlight.

Locals refer to the nearby road, officially named Shaheed Sarani Mor, as “Gun Gach Tola” due to its iconic tree.

Residents of Cox’s Bazar know this significant intersection by the name Gun Gach Tola. It connects to the Airport Road, Holiday Mor, and the town’s main road.

The people of Cox’s Bazar are calling for the preservation of this historic tree, which has been a symbol of the area for generations.
