To recognize their limitless valour as the freedom fighters, seven martyrs of the Liberation War have been awarded the highest appellation, the Bir Shrestha. Locals in Barisal alleged that due to lack of maintenance for years, Bir Shrestha Shaheed Captain Mohiuddin Jahangir Memorial Museum and Library in Rahimganj village under Babuganj in Barisal are now at risk. It was built as part of a project to construct seven memorial museums and libraries at the respective birthplaces of the seven Bir Shrestha. “Nothing but some copies of personal letters related to the memories of the Bir Shrestha are in the museum,” he said.
