Shaheed Minar left uncared for...

Shaheed Minars were built as a tribute to those valiant sons who sacrificed their lives for the mother language in 1952. People from all strata pay homage to Salam, Rafique, Barkat, Jabbar and many other heroes on February 21. But the thing that hurts common people the most is that most memorials are left uncared for throughout the year. Although the Shaheed Minars receive a routine polishing on the eve of Ekushey February, neither the cultural activists and political parties nor the administration take proper care of them otherwise. This picture, taken from the city's Batali Road area, is a testimony to the reckless indifference.
