Irregularity is the rule in Manirampur, International Mother Language Day was not celebrated with due dignity.

Own Correspondent:

No patriotic songs were heard in Manirampur upazila square in the morning, no timeless song ‘Amar bhai’s blood stained Ekushe Februari/Ami Ki Buli Pari’ was heard from the announcement stage. There is a lot of discussion and criticism on social media. Central Shaheed Minar was not decorated on International Mother Language Day and Mourning Day. At night there was not enough lighting. At 12:01 in the night, various political parties, social, cultural organizations and educational institutions along with the upazila administration paid tribute to the monument built in the memory of the martyrs at Manirampur Upazila Shaheed Minar under the dim light of the straight light. Many criticized the discussion on the matter. Since then, the matter has gone viral on social media. Nadia, an employee who came to give flowers, said, what other places are beautifully decorated with lighting. Other years also we do it here but not this year, this year there are no lights. Far from arranged, no patriotic songs were played this year.

According to sources, the municipal mayor was responsible for the decoration of the Manirampur upazila Shahid Minar under the chairmanship of the upazila executive officer. Journalist Sumon Chakraborty and many others have thrown questions to the informed people about this. Why so much indifference in such a big national program?

However, it is the volunteer team of Kolom Kotha Foundation, a completely non-political and non-profit voluntary organization that has brought confidence to the public. Under their own management, they arranged to play patriotic songs through microphones in front of the Upazila Parishad and offered floral tributes to the central Shaheed Minar along with the morning ferry.
