Saturia Public Library locked for thirty years

The Saturia Public Library in Manikganj has remained locked for thirty years, and the upazila administration finally broke the lock to inspect the building. Established in 1993 on the second floor of the auditorium adjacent to the police station and dak bungalow, this knowledge center was abandoned for a long time, leading to the looting of books and furniture.

Recently, Upazila Nirbahi Officer Kazi Mohammad Anik Islam and Assistant Commissioner (Land) Mahmudul Haque entered the premises to find pigeon nests and banyan tree roots covering the walls and ceiling. Locals reported that the tragic fate of this historical library resulted from a lack of a regular management committee and proper maintenance.
