Shankhari Bazar as heritage site

It's really a place which can entertain lots of tourists from abroad as well as home. The old buildings of this area are artistically very rich but they need proper care and preservation from both the government and local people. Most of the buildings are hazardous as they are more than hundred years old. Since all buildings are attached to one another, they are still standing. But they may fall anytime (God save them.).

It should not end in a declaration only; the endeavour must start just now, not now but from today. Experts ought to be engaged to make the local people aware of the importance of the traditional buildings. Old Dhaka is a traditional place and Shankhari Bazar is one of the most traditional sites of it. Besides, the authorities should train some efficient locals to work as guides to the tourists and Bangladesh Parjaton Corporation must take immediate steps to implement this. Not only this, the print & visual media can play a better role printing & telecasting reports on it on a regular basis.

I congratulate The Daily Star for reporting on it several times.
