Bangladesh will celebrate the birth centenary of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and the golden jubilee of the liberation of the country between March 17-26. Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan told the media on Wednesday that the programme will be held at the National Parade Square in Dhaka.
Talking about the arrangements for holding the programmes, the Home Minister said all the guests will need to come to the venue with COVID 19 negative certificates to take part in the event. Security arrangements for the dignitaries and foreign diplomats visiting the programme will be made, said the minister.
However, no large-scale public gathering will be allowed during the programmes because of the continuing Corona pandemic in the country.

He said that out of the 10 day programme, functions on four days will be held with physical attendance, rest of the programmes will be done virtually.
