Recently I along with my family members went to Lalbagh fort after about twenty five years. I was shocked to see the poor condition of the boundary of the fort and its surroundings. The southern side of the fort is blocked by high-rise buildings and the scenic river Buriganga cannot be seen from the fort anymore. I do not know if the fort area has been illegally occupied by some miscreants.
