PM to receive D. Litt degree in Agartala on Jan 11
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will pay a visit to Agartala on January 11 next year to receive an honorary D. Litt degree from Tripura University.
She will return home the following day.
Her other activities during the two-day visit are under discussion, diplomatic sources said yesterday.
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarker, during his visit to Bangladesh with Indian PM Manmohan Singh, conferred the degree on Hasina.
Tripura, in general, and Agartala, in particular, were integral parts of Bangladesh's War of Liberation. Many Bangladeshis had taken shelter there and received aid and assistance during the time.
