In order to avoid public gatherings on the occasion of Martyrs' Day and International Mother Language Day celebrations, a maximum of five people from any organisation will be allowed to lay wreaths at Shaheed Minar on 21 February.
Individually, a maximum of two persons can lay wreaths at the altar that day to reduce the risk of Covid-19, reads a press release.
The move was announced at a meeting of Dhaka University Environment Society (DUES) held Monday (14 February) at Abdul Matin Virtual Classroom in DU.
