Bankimchandra’s Magistrate House in Ruins

Bankimchandra’s Magistrate House in Ruins

Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay, a famous writer, once lived and worked in a big red house in Barasat.

This house is very old and important because he wrote some of his famous stories there.

But now, the house is falling apart and no one is taking care of it.

Many people have promised to fix it, but nothing has happened.

The house is near important government buildings, but it is still neglected.

People are upset because they think the government should do more to preserve this important piece of history.

They hope that one day, the house will be restored to honor Bankimchandra's legacy.
