A month-long 29th traditional victory fair began on Sunday in the city's MA Aziz Stadium premises with the objective of informing the new generation of the heroic tales of nine-month long bloody struggle of the country's liberation war.
Housing and Public Works Minister Engineer Mosharrf Hossain formally inaugurated the fair by igniting the victory flame in presence of large number of freedom fighters and people of all walks of life. Speaking briefly on the occasion, the housing minister said the traditional victory fair has been playing a vital role in informing the youth folk of the prestigious history of the War of Liberation.
"The new generation could not be able to know about the fact if such victory fair was not arranged", he said adding that the fair, which was first-ever organized in Chittagong, has now spread across the country. Paying tributes to the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, he said none but Bangabandhu is the father of Bengali nationalism.
