Jhenaidah Correspondent :
The residence of the Bir Shreshtha Hamidur Rahman and roads in the village at Khorda Khalishpur under Moheshpur upazila in Jhenaidah is now in dilapidated condition.
The family members have been passing their time fearing collapse of the roofs of the house any time as no measures was taken since construction of the house in 1981.
Even the service of the caretaker of the museum and library in the name of Bir Shreshtha Shahid Sepoy Hamidur Rahman Memorial Library was not regularized.
Locals said, Hamidur left behind his three younger brothers and mother. After the death of the mother Kaisunnessa on February 21 in 2005, three brothers Hamzur Rahman, Shukur Ali and Fazlur Rahman are living in the house.
Youngest brother Shukur Ali said, the three-room building in the name of Birsheshtha was built during the tenure of Hossain Mohammad Ershad in 1981 at village at Khorda Khalishpur. Due to negligence of the said contractor as well as using of below standard construction materials and negligence in monitoring the construction work, the building was damaged faster.
The plaster from the roofs has been falling as huge cracks developed on the roofs. The boundary walls were broken down.
