Neglected place
Last weekend I paid a visit to a place that represent our glorious history of 1971.The place is Rayerbazar Boddhobhumi, the place where intellectuals were brutally killed in 1971 by coward Pakistani soldiers. To honour the heroes the government has built a memorial on the bank of a river. The shape of the memorial resembles a mountain having a window on chest. With ceramic brick construction, it seems wearing a blood gown. It carries great significance along with its endless beauty. When the sun sets, it seems to see the martyrs through the window.
But it is so sad to say that some illiterate and unconscious people are ruining its beauty. They are converting the place to a market and dating place. There I saw a board where I found……'The air of this place is heavy with the sound of the cry of the unsatisfied souls of the martyrs” . But no sign I found. Even some guys are using the place as toilet.
'Don't walk on the grass…' but who cares? It became the safest ground for couples and mobile hawkers.
The authorities are silent. Will you please do something to save the inspiring monument for the young generation?
