Central Shaheed Minar prepares for International Mother Language Day

The nation readies to honour the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for their mother tongue on Feb 21. The Central Shaheed Minar is being decorated to mark this day of both pride and mourning. The monument is being cleaned and adorned with Alpana, traditional artistic motifs, reflecting the solemn spirit of Amar Ekushey.
