The Ministry of Liberation War Affairs has decided to rename Cox's Bazar's Sugandha Beach Point as ‘Bangabandhu Beach’ and the area between Sugandha and Kolatoli points to ‘Bir Muktijoddha Beach’.

The ministry on Monday (19th February) wrote to the deputy commissioner of Cox's Bazar to take necessary steps to change the name of two points of the beach, according to local media reports.

According to the letter, chairman of the central command council of Bangladesh Muktijoddha Sontan Sangsad Md Solaiman Miah requested the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs to change the name of these two beach points. In view of his appeal, a decision was taken at the 13th meeting of the Standing Committee on Liberation War Affairs of the 11th National Parliament for new names. Following the decision, a letter has been sent to the District Commissioner to take further necessary action.
