Hello, fellow Local Guides, Last week on 18 January 2019, Jamalpur Local Guides hosted a meet-up called Let’s Explore Mymensingh City. It was a tremendous day for me and now I’m going to share the Meet-Up recap.
First of all, I would like to thank @ShafiulB and @Mohammadalauddin brother for joining this Meet-Up. Though we are all in Dhaka city, so we started our journey in the morning by train. We reached Mymensingh Railway Station at 11 am. Then we took some pictures of the railway station. After taking our tea break, we left the place and entered the city.
At first, we visited Shashi Lodge. Shashi Lodge looks very beautiful and it’s the main interesting place of this city. We stayed here about 1-2 hours and we took many pictures. Here we got some university students, who were coming for visit the place. We tried to talk to them and asked them to join Local Guides program. They were very interested in this program. Also, we took some pictures with them.
Though it was a photo-walk meet-up we have tried to update Maps accessibility information and accessibility questions on Google Maps. Besides, we took an initiative to place a sticker in all the places where the wheelchairs can be accessed. We did this work for public awareness and social responsibility and further initiatives like this would be taken. Below is a list of the places where the wheelchair was accessible and we have placed the stickers:

That’s heart melting, @ShahMdSultan . Thank you for sharing. You’ve done a great job with this meet-up. Do you have any future plans for your next accessibility meet-up?

Thank you for the reply, @ShahMdSultan . I’m glad to see that you are planning to be consistent. This is a big topic that needs a lot of dedication.
Would you rather have it in different locations or do you prefer making sure the information about accessibility in Mymensingh is accurate and updated?
