Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) will plant trees all over the country marking the birth centenary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. With the slogan ‘Call for Mujib Year, plant three-tree each’, BCL President Al Nahyan Khan Joy and General Secretary Lekhak Bhattacharya inaugurated the three-month long tree plantation programme on Monday by planting trees on the Central Library premises of Dhaka University.
