The Dhaka University (DU) authorities have chalked out elaborate programmes to observe the National Mourning Day and 44th martyrdom anniversary of father of the nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on 15 August.

The national flag, university and hall flags will be hoisted at half-mast atop all main buildings including halls of the university, said a DU press release recently.

Senate and syndicate members, deans, provosts, proctors, chairpersons of departments, directors of institutes and office heads will gather at DU Vice-Chancellor’s residence at 7:00am and start journey towards the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi-32 for placing wreaths at the portrait of the architect of independence, the release added.
