At Dhanmondi 32, The Fearless Call of March 7 is Re-Imagined via Colors

Young artists collaborated on the digital artwork ‘The Fearless Call,’ which reimagined the directives of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s historic March 7, 1971 speech.

The artists investigated what sparked a nation to struggle for independence in the digital mural mash-up, which was coordinated by think-tank CRI and its youth secretariat Young Bangla.

People flocking in front of Bangabandhu’s Dhanmondi 32 house were transported back to the wonderful chapters of history as a result of the exhibition.
From the flying of the red and green flag through Bangabandhu’s incarceration by the Pakistani occupying force in 1971 to his family’s assassination in 1975, his mansion has been the fertile ground for political turnarounds.

Bangabandhu’s contextualization of the persecution that would legitimize an independence movement is depicted in the joint artwork. It investigates the guidelines for how a conquered nation’s independence struggle would unfold. The spectator can explore and learn by stitching together different sections of the artwork with fine-tuned typography.

Themes depicting Bangabandhu’s charisma, 23 years of colonial rule, horrifying incidents of slaughter, calls for an economic boycott, protecting the protection of at-risk communities, war preparations, and a clarion appeal for freedom have all been mixed up into one creative performance.

Reesham Shahab Tirtho, Saiyad Saif Ali, Sushmita Das Dewan, Ishrat Jahan Shaeera, Faiaz Rafid, Ahsana Angona, and Md. Mojjammil E Hamid is the dynamic artist behind ‘The Fearless Call.’

Because the Joy Bangla Concert, which pays homage to the father of the nation’s March 7 speech, was halted for the second year in a row because of the Covid-19 outbreak, this artwork served as an alternative in transmitting history through artistic ways.

Professor Nisar Hossain of Fine Arts, lauding the artwork in the digital realm, recalled artists’ pioneering role in reinstating Bangabandhu’s philosophy in post-1975 Bangladesh when anti-liberation forces went to any length to silence pro-liberation voices.

Professor Nisar praised painting techniques that depicted the ‘Himalaya-like stature as mentioned by Fidel Castro,’ and suggested that the artwork be organized to a greater extent in the coming years.

MPs Nahim Razzaq and Nahid Izhar Khan, as well as the director-general of the Power Cell, Mohammad Hossain, and Dr. Mamun Al Mahtab, spoke.

How to Get Bangladesh Government’s Retirement Pension?

Do you know how to get the Bangladesh government’s retirement pension? Bangladesh government’s plans to implement a universal retirement allowance program.

Various professionals and age categories, including low-income persons, will receive monthly retirement allowances under this program.

This policy, also known as the universal retirement allowance program, allows anyone to receive an allowance of up to Rs 65,000 per month after retirement if they deposit Rs 1,000 each month.

If a pensioner dies, his or her nominee will get this amount, which is similar to the traditional retirement stipend. A person can also borrow up to 50% of the money put in the retirement allowance fund.

After all, this will be an entirely tax-free retirement. But, if there’s anything, it’s right here.

Who is benefited from Bangladesh Government’s Retirement Pension?

This retirement allowance will be available to everyone in the country between the ages of 18 and 50 who is a Bangladeshi citizen of any profession who earns money from exparts, grocery storekeepers, or daily wagers.

Employees of all government and autonomous organizations, on the other hand, who are now receiving some form of retirement allowance will be excluded from the scheme.

If someone wishes to join this program when it is launched, they should do so; if not, they should not. However, it will become mandatory for everyone in the future.

How will Bangladesh Government’s Retirement be paid?

To calculate, disburse, and manage the pension, the government will establish a universal pension authority.

Each retiree will have their own pension account. As a result, even if a person moves jobs, his account remains the same.

The pension authority will choose who will make monthly deposits and how much money will be deposited. The extortion rate will be set at a minimum, and the money will have to be deposited on a monthly basis. Expatriates, on the other hand, can pay every three months.

The pension authorities will establish the monthly rate of extortion if an organization wishes to provide this pension to its employees.

The same amount of money that a person deposits at a monthly rate will be placed in that person’s account by their employer. In the case of low-income people, the government is considering placing the same amount as the pensioner’s monthly deposit in their accounts.

However, if someone wishes to deposit additional funds in addition to the monthly amount, you may do so.

How much money will they get?

The amount of pension a person receives is determined by how much money he has deposited each month.

“A person would get 10% profit on the amount placed in the pension fund at the time of retirement or up to the age of 60 years and 8% as monthly allowance,” Finance Minister A.H.M. Mustafa Kamal said at a virtual press conference, promoting the program.

Simply put, if a person deposits Rs 1,000 each month from the age of 18 to 60, he will receive a monthly retirement benefit of Rs 64,776 at the age of 61.

If someone starts putting money into this scheme when they are 30 years old, their monthly retirement allowance will be Rs 18,908.

However, it is important to note that a person will only be entitled to a retirement allowance if he makes continuous monthly contributions for a period of ten years.

Every year, a set amount of money must be deposited into this pension account. If a person fails to deposit the required minimum, his account will be temporarily suspended. The pension account, however, can be reopened with a penalty, which includes the number of months of funds remaining.

What happens if the retiree passes away?

Bangladesh Government’s retirement pension will be paid to retirees for the rest of their lives. If a pensioner dies, the allowance will be paid to the pensioner’s nominee for another 75 years.

If a pensioner dies before receiving a monthly payment for ten years, the monies put in his pension account, as well as any profit, will be refunded to his nominee.

What do experts have to say?

Bangladeshi citizens’ average life expectancy is rising. It has now been 73 years. The creation of such a program in such a situation has been praised by experts. They are concerned, however, about its implementation.

According to the Bureau of Statistics, 20 percent of Bangladesh’s population would be elderly by 2031, according to Fahmida Khatun, executive director of the Centre for Policy Dialogue. Currently, 40 persons out of every 100 in the country are without a pension.

“The government’s tax revenue is quite low,” Fahmida Khatun added. Infrastructure costs are rising at an alarming rate. It will be quite difficult for the government to set aside monies to provide pensions to such a big population in such a situation.’

Aside from that, the economist advised keeping a close eye on the Bangladesh Government’s retirement pension fund’s money as well as the process of distributing it to ensure that it does not become another weapon of corruption.

Napa Syrup Killer Mother — Photo Collected

Two boys who died in Brahmanbaria’s Ashuganj a week ago after swallowing paracetamol syrup were poisoned by their mother, authorities claimed after an investigation into the closely-followed case.
According to investigators, the woman laced sweets’ with poison and handed them to the children to ingest.

They went on to say that the homicide was motivated by an adulterous affair.

Lima Begum, the mother of the two murdered boys, was apprehended by police in Durgapur village on Wednesday.

Day laborer Ismail Hossain alias Sujon Khan, the children’s father, has filed a murder complaint against Lima Begum and her boyfriend Shafiullah, according to Brahmanbaria Additional Police Superintendent Molla Mohammad Shaheen.

Lima works in an Ashuganj rice mill and has a relationship with Shafiullah, another employee. According to the SP, they decided to marry.

“Lima executed their plan by feeding poisoned sweets to Yasin and Morsalin. During the interrogation, she admitted to doing it.”

Yasin Khan, seven, and Morsalin Khan, five, died on March 10th. The boys ‘became unwell after eating Napa syrup,’ according to Lima.

Lima informed reporters that she got a bottle of ‘Napa syrup’ from a nearby pharmacy and served it to the kids. After taking the drug, the youngsters began to puke.

According to Lima, the two were taken to Ashuganj Upazila Health Complex before being transferred to the district’s main hospital.

Yasin died about 9 p.m. on the way home from the hospital, while Morsalin died at 10:30 p.m. after arriving home, according to her.

The incident sparked widespread debate across the country. Three investigative panels were formed to look into the deaths: the Directorate General of Health Services, the Directorate General of Drug Administration, and the Brahmanbaria General Hospital authorities.

Following the deaths of Morsalin and Yasin, the DGDA ordered a nationwide investigation of wholesale and retail outlets to collect samples of a specific batch of Napa brand paracetamol syrup for testing.

The Napa syrup that the brothers consumed was also sent to CID for testing.

According to the Directorate General of Drug Administration, no hazardous substances were discovered in the medicine after the test.

The DGDA seized eight bottles of Napa from the store in Ashuganj, Brahmanbaria, where the children’s medicine was purchased, said Major General Mohammad Yousuf, the organization’s director-general, at a press conference on Monday.

Meanwhile, authorities discovered that the family had taken both boys to the Brahmanbaria General Hospital and purchased a ticket for emergency treatment, but that they were not registered with the department.

The family may take the boys away without going to the emergency room because they were afraid of the stomach cleansing procedure, according to hospital officials.

Lima was suspected from the start, according to Additional SP Shaheen.

“She attempted to deflect the investigation by claiming that the boys had a drug response after ingesting Napa syrup. She then admitted to murdering the children.”

The other suspect in the case, Shafiullah, is being sought by police.
