December 16 is a day of immense pride and honor for the people of Bangladesh. On this historic day in 1971, after nine months of a bloody liberation war, the Pakistani occupation forces surrendered to the freedom-loving people of Bangladesh. This marked the birth of an independent and sovereign nation. Victory Day is not just a date; it symbolizes the sacrifice, resilience, and triumph of the Bengali nation.

The event’s chief guest was District Governor Lion Kohinoor Kalam MJF. Speakers at the event paid heartfelt tributes to the freedom fighters and emphasized the values and spirit of the Liberation War.
Following the discussion, distinguished freedom fighters were honored, including Engr. Mujibur Rahman, Lion Kazi Mahbubul Alam, Lion Dr. Habibur Rahman, Lion Sirajul Haque Ansari, and Lion Rupom Kishore Barua. Special guests included Cabinet Secretary Lion Belal Uddin Chowdhury, GMT Lion Chandan Das MJF, GST Lion Dr. S.M. Abu Zaker, LCF Coordinator Lion Md. Humayun Kabir, Senior Governor Advisor Lion Monowara Begum, and other distinguished members of the Lions District.
