Save our heritage

Nur Jahan, Chittagong
It is a matter of great regret that heritage sites of our country are not getting due importance. These are left unprotected, and without proper care and maintenance these will become heaps of ruins one day. There are many archaeological sites in our country. Lalbagh fort, Muktagachha palace, palace of Bhawal Raja and Mahasthangarh are only a few mentioned here. If steps are not taken on urgent basis to preserve these sites, they will be razed to the ground and we will lose our precious heritage. People from all over the world visit India to see the Taj Mahal and enjoy its breathtaking beauty and marvel at its craftsmanship. If the Taj Mahal was in Bangladesh, I am afraid, by now the precious marble slabs might have vanished! It is the government's duty to preserve our historical sites.
