Tomorrow is Genocide Day, a day on which the country will commemorate the atrocities committed by the Pakistani occupation army during the horrific "Operation Searchlight" on the defenceless Bangalees on the night of March 25, 1971.


The administration has launched several initiatives to honour the day at the state level.

Tomorrow, the nation will observe a symbolic one-minute "blackout" to commemorate the day.

To honour those who perished on the terrible night of March 25, 1971, at the hands of Pakistani occupation troops, a "blackout" programme will be held from 11:00 p.m. to 11:01p.m.

Nonetheless, according to a program handout, emergency services firms would continue to be beyond the program's scope.

President Mohammed Shahabuddin and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will both make special remarks today in honor of Genocide Day.

Tomorrow at 10:30 a.m., there will be a conversation at the Liberation War Museum.

Numerous cultural events will be planned all around the nation. Documentary films and an exhibition of rare photos will be held in several places, including Dhaka.

Memories and conversations about the genocide will occur at all educational establishments, including schools, universities, and madrasahs, with notable individuals and freedom fighters present.After tomorrow's Zohr prayers at mosques and other places of worship at convenient times, special prayers will be given in the hopes of granting the souls of those slain on the dreadful night of March 25 eternal peace.

Similar events will be held at the district and upazila levels as well as in Bangladeshi embassies overseas.

On March 11, 2017, the Jatiya Sangsad (JS) unanimously decided to celebrate March 25 as "Gonohotya Dibos" (Genocide Day).

Afterward, on March 20, 2017, the cabinet division unanimously approved the decision during a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
