 Attempts by the archaeology department in the past to take over the structure and restore it to its original glory have been unsuccessful, mainly thwarted by the people who are running a madrasa by illegally occupying a part of the structure.Besides this Katra, there was several more such cellular structures mainly used as inns or residential enclaves, for example "Maya Katra", "Muqim Katra", "Nawab Katra", etc.These Katras are the few reminiscences of residential quarters in Dhaka or elsewhere in Bengal built during Mughal period.
