SAU's location
I support Prof. Zahidul's suggestion that(Ref: DS, letter Dt. 6 Aug. 2008)the government as well as the United Nations should come forward to declare the SAU's (Sher-e Bangla Agricultural University) location with its greenery, rare plant species, foundation stone laid by Sher-e Bangla AK Fazlul Haq etcetera, as a national and world heritage. In addition to that, to make it more befitting as an oasis in the harsh city centre, the government should also immediately consider shifting of this agricultural university to a new countryside location to fit its purpose and nature of education which I proposed earlier through letters in this column.
Also, I propose establishing a botanical garden/park with the Chandrima Uddyan in the south. An Agricultural museum could also be established here for the citizenry to view the evolution of different agricultural tools and implements, households wares, preservation pots etc. through ages. With all these, it will be an attractive place and a heaven for morning walkers.
