Govt suspends July Uprising events after Uttara air crash

City Desk:

In the wake of the tragic crash of a Bangladesh Air Force (BAF) training aircraft in Uttara, the government has suspended all the programmes, marking the July Mass Uprising Remembrance for the next three days.

In light of this national tragedy, the interim government made the decision, said a media release issued on Monday night by the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing, reports UNB.

The interim government has already declared a one-day state mourning to be observed on Tuesday following the catastrophic crash of a BAF training aircraft into Milestone School and College in Uttara.

The crash left at least 20 people dead and over 117 others injured when the aircraft struck the school building in the densely populated area.
