As part of the nationwide grand celebrations of the Victory Day on Tuesday, Bangladesh is set to make a world record by parachuting with the highest number of national flags.
As per the government’s special programmes to mark the country’s 54 years of independence, 54 paratroopers from the Bangladesh Army, Air Force, and Navy will perform a flag-bearing skydive at Tejgaon Old Airport here around 11:40 am on Tuesday, setting a new Guinness World Record.
Prior to the parachuting, the Bangladesh Army, Navy, and Air Force will conduct separate flypast demonstrations at the same venue from 11:00 am.
A special Victory Day band show will also take place there.
Similar flypast demonstrations will also be conducted by the armed forces in other cities across the country. Along with them, the police, BGB, and Ansar will organise band shows nationwide. All of the events will be open to the public.
