Bangladesh’s Cultural Minister Nitai Roy Chowdhury announced that the parade celebrating the Bengali New Year will henceforth be known as 'Boishakhi Shovajatra'. He made the announcement on Saturday, April 4, in Mohammadpur, Magura district, during the foundation stone laying ceremony of a modern district rest house.
The minister explained that there is no difference between the previously used names 'Mangal Shovajatra' and 'Ananda Shovajatra', but the celebration will now officially take place under the new title. He emphasized that the Bengali New Year is a long-standing cultural heritage of the Bengali people, belonging to no political party, and enjoyed by everyone from farmers to ordinary citizens. He also stated that the government will continue to serve all citizens, including those who did not vote.
The event was chaired by District Council Administrator Alia Ahmed and attended by Magura-1 Member of Parliament Monowar Hossain Khan, District Commissioner Abdullah Al Mahmud, and Superintendent of Police Molla Azad. The minister inaugurated the foundation stone with prayers and blessings.
