Tribute paid to educationist Selina Zaman

Describing Selina as a multi-faceted personality, the speakers said she would be particularly remembered for editing and compiling various books of Nazrul, which would be used as valuable resources for researchers.

Selina Bahar Smrity Parishad organised the meeting at the National Museum auditorium in the city to mark her second death anniversary.

Mobasshera Khanam read out a brief biography of Selina Bahar, also a well-known Nazrul and Tagore poetry reciter.
