Grameenphone to light up the dark night with “Alor Jatra”

DHAKA, March 24 (NsNewsWire) — Grameenphone has announced a program named “Alor Jatra.” “Alor Jatra” is Grameenphone’s initiative to transform the grief of the dark night of 25th of March, 1971 to the strength to move forward.

The event “Alor Jatra” is set to begin on the night of 25th March,2016at10:30pmon
Manik Mia Avenue. In an attempt to symbolize triumph of light over darkness, hundreds
of people including government officials, cultural figures, general people, and
Grameenphone high officials are going to participate in a rally with candles on their
hands. Renowned individuals and those who witnessed the unprecedented cruelty of the
thenPakistani military on unsuspecting Bangladeshis that dark night, will share how the
brave Bangladeshis ultimately survived to go beyond despair and fear to earn their
freedom after a 9-month long war. All are invited to join program.
Over the last four and a half decades, Bangladesh has defied all odds to be identified as
potentially one of the biggest and most prosperous economies in the world. To achieve
that potential, the Bangladeshi citizens must keep the spirit of Independence alive in
their hearts, and utilize the inspiration to enable Bangladesh to go beyond and reach the
next level.
