Darirampur in Trishal of Mymensingh, the place gripped with Nazrul's memories, is ready to celebrate the 116th birth anniversary of national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam, through three-day national level programmes.

After the conclusion of the First World War, Kazi Nazrul Islam settled in Kolkata and began writing for the “Bengali Muslim Literary Journal”.

Aggrieved locals block the busy Dhaka-Mymensingh road for nearly an hour demanding national celebration of National Poet Kazi Nazrul Islam’s birth anniversary.
