Runner launches ‘Runner Muktir Moncha’ to mark 50 years of independence

Runner Group has organised a nationwide promotional campaign called "Runner Muktir Moncha" to mark 50 years of Bangladesh's independence.

The campaign started on December 1 at Teknaf, Cox's-bazar and headed to Tetulia, Panchagar.

The campaign will cross 26 districts in the country before coming to an end on December 17 with a closing ceremony at Hatirjheel, Dhaka, according to a press release.

Millions of people put their lives at stake by participating in the fight for freedom at the call of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

In its continuity, artists of that era formed a group called "Mukti Songrami Shilpi Sangha", which inspired the brave freedom fighters through their revolutionary and patriotic song.

They had an incredible contribution to inspire people in the fight for freedom by roaming around the Dhaka-Jashore highway and different places, such as refugee camps, where they arranged patriotic songs, staged drama, puppet shows and many other cultural events.

Runner is carrying forward this promotional campaign in 26 districts to present the history of the liberation war and give recognition of contribution in the movement to the current generation.
