Save our heritage sites

I was shocked to see the photo on the front page of The Daily Star of June 26, 2015 showing part of the boundary wall of the Lalbagh Fort being knocked down to make way for a car parking lot. We do not understand how this could happen to one of our most well-known heritage sites. The government must immediately stop it and re- construct the boundary wall as it was.

It is a matter of great shame that heritage sites of our country are not getting the due importance. If left without proper care, one day these sites will become a heap of ruins and our historical past will be buried with it. We hope the authorities will take proper actions without delay.
