Meghna Petroleum Ltd pays tribute to Bangabandhu

Staff Correspondent: A delegation team of Meghna Petroleum Ltd paid homage to Father of the nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on the National Mourning Day on Tuesday (August 15).

The high officials of the organization including its Managing Director Mir Saifullah-Al-Khaled placed floral wreath at the mural of Bangabandhu in city’s Dhanmondi area.

People of all walks thronged to the place to pay tribute to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

The day is the National Mourning Day.

As part of the state programs, at first the president and then the prime minister laid wreaths separately at the portrait of Bangabandhu.

After placing the wreaths, the President and the Prime Minister stood in solemn silence for some time showing respect to the great leader.

A smartly turned out contingent of Bangladesh Armed Forces gave state salute at that time, while the bugle played the tune of grief and somber to the last post.

A munajat was offered seeking the eternal peace of the departed souls of the August 15 carnage.

Bangabandhu, his spouse Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib, his three sons -- Sheikh Kamal, Sheikh Jamal and Sheikh Russell, and most of the family members of three close relatives of Bangabandhu -- were killed in cold blood on August 15, 1975 by a cabal of army men.
