Rajshahians build first Shaheed Minar of language movement, first blood shed here

Among all the struggles in world history for establishing ethnic identity, our language movement holds a unique place. Such an unparalleled instance of sacrificing lives for the mother tongue shines brightly only in the history of Bangladesh throughout the latter half of the twentieth century. Today marks the 75th anniversary of our glorious Amar Ekushey. On this day, the Central Shaheed Minar was inaugurated in Rajshahi. The central Shaheed Minar has been constructed on approximately one acre of pre-designated land at the site of the old Survey Institute in the city. The foundation stone of the central Shaheed Minar was laid on December 16, 2020, under the management of Rajshahi City Corporation. Language veteran and Bir Muktijoddha Golam Arif Tipu inaugurated the foundation stone.
