Chief of Army Staff General Moeen U Ahmed Saturday urged the government to rebury all the seven Bir Shreshthas in a single compound so that people could pay their homage to all the valiant freedom fighters at a time, reports BSS.
'I have made a request to the Chief Adviser (CA) in this regard and he accordingly agreed," the Army chief said while receiving donations from various organisations and individuals for the cyclone survivors at Dhaka Cantonment in the city.
General Moeen suggested the National Memorial at Savar as a probable site for reburial of the Bir Shresthas, who made supreme sacrifice for the Independence of the country.
He said the army have succeeded in ensuring food and water for every cyclone-victim in the affected areas immediately after the disaster hit the country's southern part and now time has came to rehabilitate the victims.
