Shaheed Dr Milon Day today-

Shaheed Dr Milon Day will be observed across the country today (Thursday), markingthe 35th martyrdom anniversary of Dr Shamsul Alam Khan Milon, the then joint secretary general of Bangladesh Medical Association (BMA), reports BSS.
On this day in 1990, Dr Milon, who was also a teacher of Dhaka Medical College (DMC), was killed by thugs of the then dictatorial government near the Teacher-Student Centre (TSC) of Dhaka University at the height of the anti-autocracy movement.
The sacrifice of Dr Milon transformed the movement into a mass upsurge that prompted the fall of the autocratic regime, paving the way for restoration of democracy in the country.
