To remember 45 prominent poets, litterateurs and artists of the country, a month-long commemorative event titled ‘Smriti Swatta Bhabisshat’ is being held on the premises of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA) in the capital.

BSA, in association with Ministry of Cultural Affairs, has organised the programme paying tribute to the veterans.

As a part of the event, three noted painters Patua Quamrul Hassan, SM Sultan and Qayyum Chowdhury will be remembered today at 6pm at the National Art Plaza Auditorium of BSA.
