Details

The first Shaheed Minar was built very quickly and completely unplanned. The students of Dhaka Medical College started construction of the monument in the afternoon of February 23, 1952 and completed it during the night. Shaheed Minar news was sent to the paper that day. In the memory of Shaheed Vir - Daily Azad published the news of Shaheed Minar under this title.


The minaret is built at the eastern end of shed number bar of the medical student hostel (barrack). Around the corner between the hostel and the road. The objective is to be easily visible from the street outside and visible from any shed and standing on the long stretch of road inside. The Shaheed Minar was 10 feet high and 6 feet wide. Construction of the minaret was supervised by GS Sharfuddin (known as Engineer Sharfuddin), designed by Badrul Alam. Saeed Haider was with him. They were assisted by two masons. Bricks, sand and cement stored for the expansion of the medical college were brought from Piaru Sardar's warehouse in Old Dhaka. After dawn the minaret is covered with a cloth. On the same day, February 24 morning, Shaheed Minar was inaugurated informally by the father of Shaheed Shafiur of February 22. Azad editor Abul Kalam Shamsuddin inaugurated the Shaheed Minar on February 26 at around ten o'clock in the morning. On the inauguration day i.e. February 26, police and army surrounded the medical student hostel and demolished the first Shaheed Minar. Later, a Shaheed Minar was also built in Dhaka College, which was also demolished on the orders of the government.


Finally, work on the central Shaheed Minar began in 1957 after Bengali was recognized as the state language of Pakistan. Its construction was completed in 1963 by the Vice-Chancellor of Dhaka University. Under the supervision of the committee formed under the leadership of Mahmud Hossain.


In 1956, during the Chief Ministership of the Abu Hussain government, the present site of the Central Shaheed Minar was selected and the foundation stone was laid. The then Works Secretary (Minister) Mr. Abdus Salam Khan finally selected a place to lay the foundation stone of 'Shaheed Minar' in Medical College Hostel premises.


On February 21, 1956, a minister was supposed to lay the foundation stone of 'Shaheed Minar', but the crowd raised strong objections, and Basiran, the 6-year-old daughter of Awal, one of the martyrs of the language movement, laid the foundation stone of the memorial.


Shere Bangla A.K. On the initiative of Fazlul Haque and Awami League, February 1 was spontaneously celebrated throughout East Pakistan in 1956 by the United Front government. As a result, it became easier to build a new structure of Shaheed Minar. Hamidur Rahman, the famous painter of Bangladesh, is known as the architect of Shaheed Minar, a monument of great language movement. According to his vision, the construction work of Shaheed Minar in a modified form started in November, 1957 under the direct supervision of him and Navera Ahmed. This design included a wide area of the facade of the Dhaka Medical College Hostel. On February 21, 1963, the new Shaheed Minar was inaugurated by Hasina Begum, the mother of Abul Barakat, one of the martyrs of the language movement.
