Bangabhaban today bade a grand farewell to outgoing President M Abdul Hamid in a state ceremony through an impressive function, in the first such ceremony for an outgoing president in Bangladesh.
A smartly turned-out contingent of the horse-mounted President Guard Regiment (PGR) of the army extended him a guard of honor as part of the ceremony while a band group comprising military, navy, and air force played the farewell tune.
“In the last 52-year of Bangladesh’s history, this was the first such farewell extended to an outgoing President of the republic,” a Bangabhaban spokesman said.
The outgoing President Hamid, moved into his own residence at capital’s Nikunja along with his family members in a ceremonial motorcade under the supervision of the Special Security Force (SSF).বিস্তারিত
