Poorly managed tourist spot
We went to visit Shalbon Bihar (Maynamati, Comilla) on Friday, 27th March 2009. We hired two microbuses from Mymensingh to make our journey. This was the first trip for all of us to Shalbon Bihar. Naturally, we all were very excited to have a close look at this renowned historical place. We reached Shalbon Bihar at 12:30pm. We got down from the bus hurriedly to buy tickets for the entrance. When we reached the ticket counter we found it closed, nobody was around. Upon checking with the guards at the main entrance, we were surprised to know that the tickets won't be available till 2:30pm. And we also noticed a signboard on the right side of the gate where it was written that the gate would remain closed from 12:30pm to 2:30pm on Friday. I would like to ask the authorities-- how have you introduced such a timing on the weekly holiday? To add to this, when we tried to visit the museum in the afternoon at 4:45pm, we found it closed too, as the man in charge was not around.
Do they have any idea how to maintain and entertain tourists in a historically important place? If you think you people are not capable of running the office, why don't you just leave and let qualified people come forward to maintain these places properly.
