Save historical monuments
Rashedul Haque Khokan Dept. of law & Justice Rajshahi University
The centuries old Darasbari mosque in Shibganj upazila of Chapainawabgonj district is in bad shape due to lack of proper maintenance and supervision. It is one of the many cases of historical sites and structures being ruined due to lack of proper maintenance. Article 24 of Bangladesh Constitution stipulates that the state shall adopt measures for protection against disfigurement, damage or removal of all monuments, objects or places of special artistic or historical importance or interest. A few years ago the archaeology department submitted a proposal for the maintenance of the dilapidated mosque but the government rejected it. Matters must improve in this important area.
