Dhaka, January 4: To mark the golden jubilee of independence, 50 heroic freedom fighters will travel around the country with national flags. After touring 64 districts, they will return to Dhaka on December 16 and hand over the flag to the new generation of delegates.

After the meeting, the minister said, "We will celebrate the golden jubilee from March 26 to December 16. Bangabandhu's birth centenary could not be observed properly due to coronavirus.

In this regard, Mozammel Haque said, "The members of the cabinet committee have given many new suggestions. They will be compiled and presented at the next meeting. It will be finalised with the consent of the Prime Minister and her instructions, before the final program is announced."

Three types of books on the Liberation War are being considered. There are plans to print one type of book for primary level students, one type for sixth to tenth grade students and another type for college and university students and make them available to children free of cost.

Besides, a short film on the context of the liberation war and the torture and oppression of Pakistanis during the Liberation War will be disseminated in the villages and in the markets.
