Dargah of Mr. Mizi (RA) besides Fakir
The Dargah of Mr. Fakirchharu Mizi (RA) is located just 200 yards northeast of the residence of the Deputy Commissioner at the center of Maijdi Court, Noakhali District Town. It is not known exactly when this traditional Dargah was established. The ancestors were already there. Gathering information from his ideas and the people of the shrine committee, it is known that he is not less than 200 years old.
According to the information gathered, Mr. Mizi (R) was a camel man besides Fakir. The place where his shrine is located at present was very forested in the past. Mr. Fakir used to meditate alone in this deep forest. The poisonous snakes, tigers, bears and other wild animals of the forest were not harmful to his meditation.
During the British rule, the zamindar of the area, Roy Bahadur, donated some land for the shrine and fair for the miraculous power and meditation of the fakir, which was included in the 1972 ledger, said Mr. Abdus Sattar, secretary of the shrine committee. The fair sits. The fair attracts millions of people from far and wide, including the larger districts. At this traditional fair, people from different parts of the country come to sell national goods.
Noakhali Public Library
"Library is one of the criteria of civilization" Library is one of the places of knowledge and talent development of all countries, all societies. Inspired by this ideology, the Greater Noakhali Library named "Noakhali Public Library" was established in 1895 (Bangla 1302) in the old town of Noakhali. In 1944, when the old town of Noakhali was sinking into the riverbed due to the erosion of the Meghna, the library was shifted to Maijdi Court, the main town of Noakhali. With a hundred years of tradition, this library is still spreading the light of knowledge among the general public.
Location of the private sector established library in its own house at Eksemipaka (40 / R ৮ 60r) Tin Shed adjacent to the traditional town hall of the district at the intersection of George Court Road intersection in Noakhali Maijdi Court town. At present, various ceremonies of various social, cultural and political organizations are held in the open space in front of the library.
The current membership of the traditional Noakhali Public Library is 56. It has 18 life members and 550 general members. The library currently has about 20,000 books. Novels, short stories, religious books, poetry, biographical history, science, health, law, engineering and miscellaneous textbooks. The collection also contains many rare books from British India. Many scholars seek the help of this library to expand the scope of their research. Many old papers and magazines are well preserved in this library. In addition to daily newspapers, memorabilia, magazines, annual reports etc. of various organizations and institutions from home and abroad are provided as courtesy to the readers of this library and which are later stored in the library. Come to read. The main source of income of this library is government and non-government grants. Another source of income is the lifetime subscription of ordinary members.
We hope that the 100-year-old Noakhali Public Library of the district will become a huge source of knowledge with the active participation of government, private and local wealthy people. The present and future generations will make a great contribution to the history of the nation by developing their talents in collaboration with this library.
