In hope of improving civil-military relations, the country’s armed forces have put on a nine-day combined Warfare Exhibition at the National Parade Ground.
The event, in honour of Independence Day, kicked off on March 22 and will end on March 31.
Colonel Abdullah Al Mamun of the Civil-Military Relations Directorate of the Armed Forces yesterday said the display was meant to present the history and achievements of the armed forces and to attract new recruits.
Apart from the weapons display, the three forces have stalls highlighting their Liberation War roles.
The display will be open to the public from 9:30am to 5:30pm everyday except March 26. But on Independence Day it will only be open to Armed Forces’ family members and to students of Dhaka Cantonment schools and colleges from 12:30pm to 5:30pm.
On the final day, there will be a special arrangement for Dhaka city school and college students to view the display from 12:30pm to 5:30pm.
