For several months, I came to the house of one of the main birds of the country's self-reliance, Srimangal Baikka Bill in Moulvibazar district. Hundreds of thousands of kilometers away to get little warmth due to the intense intensity of the winter, foreign birds came in crowded Hail Haor in Srimangal.

Hundreds of thousands of tourists come here every day to enjoy the festivity of birds. In the far north North America, Siberia and the Himalayan flock, flock of birds came from bikka bill.

I did not want to miss this opportunity because he was a friend of Srimangal. So friends went out in Srimangal tour. Never got on the train.
