National Memorial ready for Victory Day with strengthened security

The memorial grounds have been cleaned, repainted, and fully refurbished

The National Memorial monument in Savar has been prepared to honour the nation’s heroes on Victory Day.

On Monday, the National Memorial was seen fully painted and decorated in red and green hues with spring flowers, while the martyrs' altar and mass grave were thoroughly washed and cleaned.

The Public Works Department (PWD) has made extensive preparations for the occasion, including painting and refurbishing the memorial premises. Law-enforcing agencies implemented a four-tier security arrangement.

At daybreak, hundreds of thousands, including the president, chief advisor, Advisory Council members, chiefs of the three Armed Forces, foreign diplomats, freedom fighters, and others, will pay homage to the nation’s brave sons at the memorial.

Meanwhile, strict security measures have been enforced at the memorial and surrounding areas.

The four-tier security system has been strengthened, with plainclothes officers patrolling the premises.

Dhaka Range DIG Rezaul Karim said police security has been reinforced along the route from Aminbazar to the memorial, with over 4,000 personnel deployed to ensure safety.
