The third death anniversary of Taramon Bibi, a brave liberation war freedom fighter, who died from asthma-related complications at her own residence in 2018 at her residence in Rajibpur upazila of Kurigram district, was observed on Wednesday.
Her son, Abu Taher, said: “To observe my mother’s death anniversary, we arranged a Quran recitation and Milad Mahfil at our house. We request everyone to pray for my mother.”
“There was no government initiative to observe my mother’s death anniversary. Since my mother’s burial, no one has reached out from the authorities concerned; even her grave is conserved by the family alone,” he said sorrowfully.
The original name of Taramon is Taramon Begum, and she was born in Kacharipara of Rajibpur upazila under Kurigram district. She was the daughter of Abdus Sobhan and Kulsum Bibi. She married Abdul Majid and mothered a son and a daughter.
She had served in Sector number 11 during the Liberation War. She would cook for the freedom fighters, hide arms for them, gather information from the Pakistani military, and participate in face-to-face combat.
She showed extraordinary valour in fearlessly fighting for the country and received the gallantry award ‘Bir Protik’ by the Bangladesh government in 1973.
Freedom Fighter Commander of the district, Abdul Hai Sarker said: “The name of Taramon Bibi is weaved in the history of Bangladesh’s liberation war, and she will always be remembered for her bravery.”
