UNB: Beanibazar Mukhtijoddha Complex has remained locked since its inauguration one year back, said local freedom fighters.
After its inauguration by Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid, the complex was opened for only one day for a reception programme, the freedom fighters alleged.
They also said freedom fighters have no place here for holding any meeting or gathering which obstructs their activities.
Contacted, Upazila Executive Engineer Ramendra Hom Chowdhury told UNB that the Local Government Engineering Department built the four-storey complex spending Tk 3.5 crore.
There are eight shops on its ground floor, freedom fighter offices on the 1st and 2nd floors and an auditorium on the 3rd floor.
“On completion of the construction works, the complex building was handed over to the authorities concerned one year ago. But, we don’t know why the building is not being handed over to freedom fighters. Now, the key of the building is with the upazila nirbahi officer,” he added.
Shahid Ali, former commander of Pouro Mukhtijoddha Sangsad, said they requested the UNO several times for opening the building.
