‘Rupali Guitar’ needs attention

On a visit to Prabartak intersection in the port city last weekend, Chittagong University student Apu Saha became shocked to see the battered state of the sculpture Rupali Guitar, which had been installed in remembrance of the late and great musician Ayub Bachchu.
A layer of dust was covering the guitar while the surrounding fountain and garden were in a shabby state. Apu, a dedicated fan of Bachchu s music, was rightly angered to see the lack of maintenance done by the city corporation for upkeep of the sculpture.
