August 8 'New Bangladesh Day'

Desk Report: The government of Bangladesh has declared August 8 as the 'New Bangladesh Day'. It has been decided to include the date as a 'Kha' category day in the observance of national and international days to be celebrated every year, BSS reports.

Bangladesh on Wednesday decided to observe August 8 as ‘New Bangladesh Day’, significant as this was the day Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus was sworn in as the interim leader last year. Following the student-led uprising, the Sheikh Hasina government fell on August 5 last year. Three days on, Yunus was sworn in to lead the government as Chief Adviser.

All concerned ministries, departments and organizations have been asked to properly implement it.

Cabinet Division today issued a circular to this end.
