Nameplates for Movement heroes in tatters

The language movement heroes, who struggled to establish Bengali as the national language in 1952, are remembered mostly in February, the month of the language movement. A while back, Dhaka City Corporation took the great initiative of naming some of the streets in Dhanmondi after the language heroes to ensure that they are remembered every day. That initiative now lies in tatters as negligence has resulted in the damage of murals and nameplates dedicated to the language movement heroes. Photo: Asif Mahmud Ove
