Non-Cooperation Movement
Chauri Chaura came into prominence in 1922 when its inhabitants whole-heartedly participated in the Nonco- operation movement started by Gandhi. However, in February 1922, a police chowki (station) was set on fire by a mob of angry citizens, killing 23 policemen inside. On February 12, 1922, the Indian National Congress halted the Non-cooperation Movement on the national level as a direct result of the Chauri Chaura tragedy.
