The memorial museum of famous fiction writer, playwright, lyricist, academician, and filmmaker Humayun Ahmed will be built in Nuhash Palli. Paintings, scripts of movies, and dramas created by Humayun Ahmed will be placed there. Humayun Ahmed’s widow Meher Afroz Shaon informed this while observing Humayun Ahmed’s 10th death anniversary at Nuhash Palli on July 19.

Commemorating the death anniversary, his family and several organizations observed the day with different programmes and events.

Humayun Ahmed’s widow and actress and singer Meher Afroz Shaon, alongside their two sons Ninit and Nishad, placed floral wreaths at his grave at Nuhash Palli, Gazipur in the morning.

Special prayers and Quran Khatam were organized in the morning, and a prayer ceremony was also held to seek the forgiveness of his soul. Orphans were fed at noon marking this occasion, according to both Shaon and the authority of Nuhash Palli.

According to Shaon, “Many pictures painted by Humayun Ahmed were stuck to a person in New York. We got all the pictures. Apart from this, Humayun Ahmed’s children and I have some pictures of Humayun Ahmed. These pictures and the script written by him will be kept in Humayun Ahmed Memorial Museum.”

“Humayun Ahmed had a dream to make a cancer hospital. I can’t do it alone. I couldn’t get the strength to make a cancer hospital according to his dream. If the government takes initiative, I would say Humayun Ahmed’s family will not hesitate to give his wealth”, Shaon also said regarding building a cancer hospital.

Himu Paribahan, a renowned fan unit of the prolific litterateur, has been observing this special day since 2013. Members of the platform placed floral wreaths at the writer’s grave in the morning.
