A committee involving architectural experts and museum officials will be formed by today to turn the Gono Bhaban, the former official residence of ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina, into a museum within the quickest time.

"Possibly we will start our work from the next week," Post and Telecommunication Adviser Nahid Islam told reporters after vising Gono Bhaban yesterday morning.

"We want to inaugurate the museum as soon as possible," he added.

Adviser to the Ministry of Industries Adilur Rahman Khan and Sports and Youth Adviser Asif Mahmud accompanied him during the visit. 

Nahid said the officials concerned have been asked to complete works on the museum within the quickest time.

"We have taken primary suggestion from them (officials from the Department Of Architecture, Ministry Of Housing & Public Works) and shared our expectation, how we want to see the museum," Nahid said.

"The museum will be built, highly preserving the current condition of the structures and signs of destruction at Gono Bhaban to keep the image of people's outburst and anger intact," he added.
