With the permission of the appropriate authorities, Shopnodhora has voluntarily expressed its willingness to repair and/or restore the damage done to Ganabhaban. They announced this intention through a post on their Facebook page.
Last Monday, Sheikh Hasina resigned in the face of a mass movement of students and citizens. Following that, a large number of people entered Ganabhaban. Similarly, crowds were seen at the National Parliament building and outside the Prime Minister's Office. During this time, many, driven by excitement, vandalized Ganabhaban.
As a result, the structure, paint, lights, fans, and various essential items in Ganabhaban were damaged. At one point, people were seen taking away various items from Ganabhaban, including air conditioners, TVs, furniture, and other belongings. However, many later returned those items.
Sadly, our Ganabhaban has been reduced to a sort of ruined state. Therefore, out of patriotism and a sense of responsibility, Shopnodhora has expressed its desire to structurally repair Ganabhaban back to its original state.
Currently, ordinary students have begun working on rebuilding the nation. They have even involved themselves in tasks like traffic control. Inspired by the commendable initiatives of the students, Shopnodhora stands ready to do its part for the country it was conceived in.
Shopnodhora wants to work with the slogan 'Our Ganabhaban, we will decorate it.' With that said, the Managing Director of Shopnodhora said, 'If the students can do it, why can't we? We have some responsibilities too. And Ganabhaban is our asset, so it's our responsibility to fix it!'
‘This responsibility is actually everyone's!’ Urging other local brands to come forward, he added, 'Everyone needs to step up. If we all come forward and work together, we can fix our country, as the students and the public have proven.'
