President Abdul Hamid today paid tribute to the martyred members of the armed forces on the occasion of Armed Forces Day-2022.

He placed a wreath at the altar of Shikha Anirban (flame eternal) at Dhaka Cantonment this morning.

Hamid, also the supreme commander of the armed forces, stood in solemn silence for some time to show profound respect to the memories of the martyred members of armed forces, who made supreme sacrifices during the Liberation War.

A smartly turned out contingent drawn from the army, navy and air force presented a guard of honour at that time, while the bugle played the last post.

Later, the president signed the visitors' book kept on the premises of Shikha Anirban.

Secretaries concerned to the president were also present on the occasion.

Earlier, on his arrival at Shikha Anirban, the president was received by chiefs of the three services.
