Preserving historically important sites
We have miserably failed to preserve our heritage. I would like to mention the following three cases which should have been preserved for the sake of posterity:
a) The Arts Faculty Building and adjoining areas including the famous Amtala and Beltala from where the language movement originated and gained momentum;
b) Hotel Shahbagh The first standard hotel of Dhaka has been converted into PG hospital. In every city the oldest hotel is a sign of the past and is valued much.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. c) Bangabandhu National Stadium was built to host the first cricket Test match between India and Pakistan in 1955. This stadium has immense historical value.
