“Month of Victory” begins

The month of victory has begun on Thursday with much enthusiasm and fanfare. This year the nation will be celebrating the 45th Victory Day on December 16.

Forty-five years back, our country was liberated on the 16th of December after around nine months of war of independence and the supreme sacrifice of three million people and the honour of nearly half a million women.

Different socio-political, educational and cultural institutions and organizations arranged a series of programmes to celebrate the nation’s great victory under the leadership of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

Dhaka University brought out the Victory Rally at 11 am from Aparajeyo Bangla, which will end at the Independence Square in Suhrawardy Udyan.

Dhaka University Vice Chancellor Professor Dr. A A M S Arefin Siddique led the rally with participation of students, teachers, officers and employees and their family-members.

Besides, many other organizations organise various programmes across the country to celebrate the month of victory.
