Because it was in this city that the blueprint for the Bengali genocide was finalized instead of handing over power to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The day was February 22, 1971.

A 15-year-old girl from Narsingdi displayed remarkable bravery by pursuing justice for her rape. Tragically, her life was abruptly ended while she sought that justice.
