The Bangabandhu Jamuna Eco Park in Sirajganj, which could become a lucrative spot pulling in local and foreign tourists, has been in a sorry state for years. The park, about 125 kilometres north-west of Dhaka, has over 50 varieties of timber, fruit and medicinal trees and a zoo, but fails to draw many tourists due to a lack of necessary facilities and publicity, said visitors and officials concerned.
The 600-acre park on the western end of Jamuna bridge at Soydabad in the district was opened to public in 2008, but the authorities have not taken any initiatives to attract tourists. During a recent visit, this correspondent found the park in a state of neglect, with only a handful of visitors. The park has a small zoo with only four cages that accommodate only two sick porcupines and a few monkeys and hares.
Seven spotted deer were released into the park when it was opened, and their numbers redoubled in five years. But the animals have been suffering due to a severe shortage of drinking water, with no ponds dug in the forest, sources said. Ibrahim Khalil, in-charge of the park’s wildlife and c, said there were two peacocks in the park, but they were shifted to Dhaka after they fell sick a few months ago. “Visitors, especially children, love to see animals and birds. Therefore, more of these creatures could be brought to the zoo,” Khalil said, adding the government could earn huge revenues from the park if it was taken care of.

[name] => Sir J.C. Bose Complex

[post_content] => Sir J.C. Bose Complex located at Rarikhal, Dhaka-Dohar Highway, Sreenagar, Munshiganj. Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose (30 November 1858 – 23 November 1937) was a Bengali polymath, physicist, biologist, botanist, archaeologist, as well as an early writer of
science fiction. He pioneered the investigation of radio and microwave optics, made very significant contributions to plant science, and laid the foundations of experimental science in the Indian subcontinent. He is sometimes considered the father of Bengali science fiction.
Born in Mymensingh- "Bengal Presidency" during the British Raj that means the Bikrampur (now in Munshiganj, Dhaka). His early life was started in Kolkata, but his paternal house is still there in
Rarikhal, Sreenagar, Munshiganj.
Now, his birthplace has turned into a park like memorial complex. We've found this place as a perfect place for day out with your family but not for any science awareness school visit.

Folk lore refers to the introduction of the Ali Amjad Clock Tower, by Nawab Ali Ahmed Khan in 1874, an enthusiasm which was drawn from the one in Chandnichawk in Delhi, India. It was set up by a philanthropist named Shahzadi Jahan Ara. Ali Ahmed, the tower was named after his son Nawab Ali Amjad Khan.
Another story claims that Amjad Ali established the historic clock himself. But it was found that Amjad Ali was only 3 years old at the time the clock was built.

সিলেট শহরের চাঁদনীঘাটে সুরমা নদীর উত্তরতীরে এবং কিন ব্রীজের বায়ে আলী আমজাদের ঘড়িটি অবস্থিত। লোকমুখে জানা যায় যে, ভারতের দিল্লির চাঁদনীচক থেকে অনুপ্রানিত হয়ে নবাব আলী আহমেদ খান ১৮৭৪ সালে এই ঘড়িটি স্থাপনে প্রধান ভুমিকা পালন করেন। শাহজাদি জাহানারা নামক জনৈকা জনহিতৈষী মহিলা এই ঘড়িটি স্থাপন করেন। নবাব আলী আহমেদ তাঁর পুত্র নবাব আলী আমজাদ খানের নামে ঘড়িটির নামকরন করেন বলে প্রচলিত আছে, আবার এমনও শোনা যায় যে আমজাদ আলী নিজেই এই ঘড়িটি স্থাপন করেন। কিন্তু প্রকৃতপক্ষে ঘড়িটি নির্মাণের সময় আমজাদ আলীর বয়স ছিল মাত্র ৩ বছর।
