The traditional ‘Mangal Shobhajatra’ procession marking Bengali New Year has been renamed ‘Borshoboron Anondo Shobhajatra’ (New Year Joyful Parade), as announced at a press conference by the Faculty of Fine Arts at Dhaka University. Dean Azharul Islam said the event will be celebratory and inclusive. Cultural Adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki had hinted at the change earlier at a meeting on March 23.
