Rajshahi people get Bangabandhu’s largest mural
The largest mural of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman has been built adjacent to the C&B Crossing area in Rajshahi city.
Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC) constructed the country’s largest mural at a cost of around Taka 5.02 crore as part of its Taka 2,993-crore project titled ‘Integrated Urban Infrastructure Development in Rajshahi City’.
RCC Superintending Engineer and Project Director Nur Islam told BSS that the height of the mural is 58 feet having a 50-feet height and 40-feet wide Bangabandhu photo in the main part of the mural.
Terracotta works were done on 700-feet space on both sides of the boundary wall. The Gallery and landscaping were well-decorated with super granite. Apart from this, the mural has night vision with decorative electric bulbs.
As a whole, the mural will inspire people to know about Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib along with his life, works and laudable contribution and sacrifice to the country’s independence.
Meanwhile, the mural was formally opened today marking the ‘The Fifth Bangladesh-India Cultural Meet-2022, Rajshahi’ being celebrated here since yesterday.
