Tungipara,
a remote village surrounded by rivers & canals with lush green
& densely built homestead on the banks where the Father of the
Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was born. Incidentally in 1975
Bangabandhu was assassinated with his beloved family members after three
& half years of the nation’s independence & buried at the
courtyard of his village home.
The surrounding dense neighborhood
created a scarcity of land in the graveyard to accommodate the people
coming to pay respect for his departed soul.
