The historic May Day will be observed today in the country as elsewhere across the world with due respect through various programmes, reports BSS.
The day is being observed across the globe since 1886 commemorating the supreme sacrifices of the workers at Hay Market, Chicago, in the USA for eight-hour working day and upholding the rights of the workpeople.
To press home their demands, working people had to sacrifice their valuable lives in tragic bomb attacks and police atrocities on May 1, 1886 and the following days.
President M Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina issued separate messages on the occasion of the historic May Day.
However, due to the global coronavirus pandemic, no govt. or private programme has been kept on the occasion this year.
