During the War of Liberation, the ancient clock system was dispersed by the bullets of the occupation forces. After independence, Sylhet municipality was activated by repairing the clock, but the clock was stopped soon after. In 1987, Ali Amjad's clock was repaired and restored. After the launch of the clock, one of Dhaka t he makers of the company arrange remote control to keep the clock going. Through the remote control of the municipal chairman's office, the clock turned round the clock. But when the two-four years did not go, the clock was stopped again. The watch was then restarted in electronic form by the Season Company. But the time of the year does not turn the clock's thorns off again. In 2011, the Sylhet City Corporation repaired the clock again and again it was operational 24 hours a day.
There was a local proverb on this clock:
The stairs of Chandni Ghat, Ali Amjad's watch, Jitu Mia's house, Bunkey Babur's beard.
