He expressed dissatisfaction at lack of proper maintenance of Bangabandhu’s mazar complex and instantly directed the authorities concerned to hand over the maintenance of the complex to the public works ministry

“I am paying rich tribute to the memory of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and seeking blessings for the departed soul,” the chief adviser wrote in the visitors’ book kept in the monument complex.
