The 11th death anniversary of renowned nuclear scientist and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's husband Dr MA Wazed Miah will be observed today (Saturday), reports BSS.
The nuclear scientist with international reputation was born on February 16, 1942 in a respectable Muslim family at village Laldighee Fatehpur in Pirganj upazila of Rangpur district. He died on May 9, 2009.
He was laid to eternal rest with full state honours at their family graveyard in his paternal village Laldighee Fatehpur.
Due to the present situation caused by the coronavirus outbreak, different organisations have postponed observance of the day through daylong programmes like in the past ten years.
"Placing wreaths at the grave of Dr Wazed on a limited scale, offering Fateha and distribution of Iftar among orphans seeking divine blessings for his departed soul may be allowed," said President of Dr MA Wazed Foundation and Vice-president of district Awami League (AL) AKM Chhayadat Hossain Bakul.
The Pirganj upazila AL, Dr MA Wazed Foundation, family of Dr Wazed and other organisations will observe the death anniversary on a limited scale.
