The government has canceled the lease of land for the music institution 'Surer Dhara,' founded by Rabindra Sangeet artist Rezwana Choudhury Bannya, located on the Ramchandrapur canal in Mohammadpur, Dhaka.
This directive was issued in a letter signed by Md. Aminur Rahman, Deputy Secretary of the Khas Land-1 Branch of the Ministry of Land, on Thursday, November 7.
The letter states that the long-term lease of 0.5120 acres of land, including 0.1700 acres from plot number CS and SA-692, RS-1895, City-11667, and 0.3420 acres from plot number 11412 in the Ramchandrapur area under Mohammadpur Police Station, has been canceled. This cancellation is due to the land being recorded as 'canal' in the CS and RS records.
The ministry has also requested the Dhaka District Commissioner to take appropriate action regarding this matter and submit a report to the Ministry of Land.
Notably, Rezwana Choudhury Bannya established 'Surer Dhara' in 1992. During the tenure of a previous government, a plot near the Ramchandrapur embankment in Mohammadpur was allocated for operating the school of 'Surer Dhara.'

India's Richest Star Kid Is Even Richer Than Salman, Owns ₹1000 Crore Company
The term star kid began as an informal way to describe children of film actors and filmmakers, largely those who are public figures themselves. Over the years, as these star kids became celebs in their rights, the term has oscillated from endearment to almost a slur (although Neo Baby takes the cake there). But due to remaining in the public eye, many of these star kids, have become wealthy themselves. The richest Indian star kid has wealth that surpasses even some of the top stars.
India's Richest Star Kid
Hrithik Roshan, the son of actor-turned-filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, is currently the wealthiest of all 'star kids' in India. As per reports, Hrithik has a net worth of ₹3100 crore (over $370 million), which puts him way over his contemporaries and juniors like Saif Ali Khan ( ₹1200 crore), Abhishek Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor ( ₹400 crore), Alia Bhatt ( ₹550 crore), and even south stars like Ram Charan ( ₹1340 crore), Jr NTR ( ₹500 crores), and Prabhas ( ₹300 crores). Hrithik's staggering net worth even dwarfs the wealth of some of the top stars of the country, including Aamir Khan ( ₹1800 crore), Rajinikanth ( ₹400 crore), and Salman Khan ( ₹2900 crore).
How Hrithik made his millions
The secret to Hrithik's wealth is his business investments and not his earnings from the films. Granted, he is one of his generation's most successful actors, allowing him to charge as much as ₹85 crore per film. But since he is selective with his films, that does not contribute majorly to his wealth. The bulk of Hrithik's net worth comes from his sportswear brand HRX. Financial Express reported that the company is worth ₹1000 crore. It is one of the most successful businesses owned by an Indian actor. Hrithik also reportedly has other business investments and a stake in his father's production company.

Salman Khan Reveals Shocking Information About His Murder Conspiracy
In April of this year, four rounds of bullets were fired at Salman Khan's house. Although the accused have been arrested, the fear surrounding the actor has not subsided. Salman’s family has reported that the risk to his life has increased following the murder of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique. Now, on the stage of ‘Bigg Boss,’ Salman himself has disclosed details regarding the death threats.
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan hinted at the current situation to his fans, mentioning the threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang during his hosting of the reality show ‘Bigg Boss.’
On Friday (October 18), the Lawrence Bishnoi gang threatened Salman Khan, claiming, "It will take 50 million rupees to end the enmity." The gang stated this through a WhatsApp message sent to the Mumbai Traffic Police, warning that if the money is not paid, the actor's fate would be worse than that of former minister Baba Siddique from Maharashtra.
The Mumbai Police have arrested several suspects in connection with the conspiracy to murder Salman Khan, who are allegedly linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
According to police sources, one of the arrested suspects had contacted a Pakistan-based handler to plan the attack, which included the use of assault rifles like the AK series smuggled from the neighboring country.
Earlier this year, the Navi Mumbai Police filed a First Information Report (FIR) against 18 members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang for conspiring to kill Salman Khan. This FIR was filed following a shocking incident where gang members fired shots outside Salman Khan's house in Bandra.
Lawrence Bishnoi is currently imprisoned in a Gujarat jail. However, his gang is frequently accused of extorting ransom from businessmen. He holds a grudge against Salman Khan due to the 1998 cases of poaching two blackbucks, which the Bishnoi community considers sacred.
