Prime Minister Tarique Rahman marked the 80th founding anniversary of Dhaka Medical College (DMC) by inaugurating DMC Day-2026. The ceremony, held on the college campus, began with the release of balloons and pigeons.

The prime minister was accompanied by his wife, Dr. Zubaida Rahman, a former student of the institution. Together, they planted an Arjun tree and a Neem tree on the college grounds. Following the tree planting, a munajat was offered to pray for the souls of those who died during the July Movement.

During the event, Chief Engineer Brigadier General Mir Sarwar Hossain Chowdhury provided the prime minister with an update on the construction of two new female dormitories. This project is part of a larger initiative to build 19 modern hostel buildings for students. Prime Minister Rahman expressed significant interest in the project, inquiring about the specific facilities that would be available to students in the new accommodations.
