Ahasn Manzil Museum

Brief History of Ahsan Manzil

Ahasn Manzil proudly stands amongst the magnificent historical and architectural specimens in Bangladesh. It stands on the banks of the river Buriganga. It was erected by Nawab Abdul Ghani. He named the palace "Ahsan Manzil" after his son Khwaja Ahsanullah. Its construction began in 1859 and completed in 1872. After its emergence, it faced damages for several times for natural calamities. On April 7, 1888 a fierce tornado severely damaged it. Then Nawab Ahsanullah rebuilt the building. But Ahsan Manzil once again came under attack of an earthquake on June 12, 1897. However, Nawab Ahsanullah was able to restore it again. The palace was subsequently got damaged due to lack of maintenance by its successors. With the passage of time the palace became the sanctuary of illegal occupants.

After much damage, the government could ascertain the historical value of Ahsan Manzil. The restoration of the palace was completed in 1992. The Directorate of Public Works and Architecture supervised the whole renovation work. In the same year Bangladesh National Museum was given the authority to control it. At present, it is one of the eye-catching museums in Bangladesh.

Many of us like to enjoy Thai Chicken soup in nearby Chinese restaurants. But it is always better to eat homemade foods. You can prepare Thai Chicken soup at home very easily.

Sub: Complaint against Unresponsive Servicing Job.

Dear Sir,

I am writing with regard to the negative experience I had due to unresponsive service requests. Since last few days I have been requesting you to undertake a servicing job for my air-conditioner. Unfortunately, you did not send any technicians to carry out the servicing job. For your negligence the air-conditioner encountered a major technical breakdown. Right now I feel very disappointed with the current condition of my air-conditioner.

Under the above circumstance, I shall highly appreciate if you kindly send someone to overhaul the air-conditioner.

I look forward to a prompt resolution of this problem.

Thank you in advance for your kind co-operation in the matter.

Yours faithfully,
