Century-old structure razed in Old Dhaka

A large portion of this century-old structure on Dinanath Sen Road in Old Dhaka’s Gendaria has been demolished. The demolition work is currently on hold due to a notice from the Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha, or RAJUK.

Its ornate design, featuring Corinthian columns, semicircular arches, and intricately crafted walls, parts of which have been demolished stand as a testament to the city’s rich architectural heritage. Photo: Abdullah al Momin
