The newly-appointed vice-chancellor of Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology (RUET) Professor Dr Engineer Md Jahangir Alam paid rich tributes to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman by placing a wreath at his mausoleum in Tungipara of Gopalganj on Thursday.
After laying the wreath, the VC stood in solemn silence for a minute as a mark of profound respect to the memory of the great architect of independence, who was brutally killed by some disgruntled army men on the dreadful night of August 15, 1975 along with most of his family members.
Later, he offered munajat at the grave seeking eternal peace for the departed souls of the Father of the Nation, Bangamata Begum Fazilatunnesa Mujib and other martyrs of the August 15, 1975 massacre.
The registrar (acting) of the university Professor Dr Md Salim Hossain and student welfare director Professor Dr Md Rabiul Awal were present there.
