Death anniversary of Nazrul Islam

Today is the 46th death anniversary of freedom fighter Eng Nazrul Islam.

A Qurankhwani and milad mahfil, arranged by Prof Hazera Nazrul, wife of the martyr, will be held before the Maghrib prayers at 204/A, Gulshan Tejgaon Link Road, Dhaka, says a press release. His friends and well-wishers are invited to attend the programmes.

During the 1971 Liberation War, he conducted an operation to blow up five power stations in Dhaka.

After independence, Hatkhola road was named after him and Shaheed Nazrul Girls School was established in his native district, Shariatpur.
