Chattogram University of Engineering and Technology (CUET) observed Martyred Intellectuals Day on Sunday, December 14, at 11:00 am at the university’s Academic Council Hall.

Mokbul Hossain, General Secretary of the CUET Officers’ Association; Priyotosh Chakraborty, General Secretary of the Employees’ Association; and Adil Raihan, a 20th-batch student from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, speaking on behalf of the students.
