PM opens Light & Sound Show at Lalbagh Fort

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Friday evening inaugurated the country’s first ‘light and sound show’ at Lalbagh Fort, an archaeological site, in the city aiming to attract more local and foreign tourists apart from projecting its history.
The show involves special lighting effects that will be projected onto the building’s façade synchronised with a recorded narration and music to dramatise the Fort’s history.
 Eminent writer and poet Syed Shamsul Haq prepared the narration while cultural personalities Shimul Yousuf and Asaduzzaman Noor gave their voice.
Between mid-November and mid-March, there will be two 30-minute shows every day, except Sunday, one between Maghrib and Esha prayers, and another after Esha prayers.
Speaking on the occasion, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that her government always put its efforts to uphold the culture and traditions of the country, according to a news agency.
