Decayed commemorative plaques

February 12 this year marked the 13th death anniversary of Monem Munna, one of the finest footballers Bangladesh has ever seen. He played for Abahani for most of his career. In 2008, Dhaka City Corporation installed a commemorative plaque beside the bridge over Dhanmondi Road 8, and named the bridge after him.

However, the words inscribed on the plaque are almost blurred because the authorities concerned did not bother with any kind of maintenance.

There is another such plaque installed nearby in memory of Mohammad Hanif, the former mayor of Dhaka, who laid the foundation of this bridge in 1999. It is also in very bad shape due to negligence of city corporation authorities.
