Marking Martyrs’ Day: State Flag Hoisted At Half-Mast At Former Secretariat

The 75th Anniversary of Martyrs’ Day was commemorated with a ceremony in Yangon, Tuesday morning at the Secretariat (formerly the Ministers’ Office), where the martyrs were assassinated. Present on the occasion were Yangon City Development Committee Chairman Mayor U Bo Htay, committee members, department officials and the Guard of Honour.

They saluted the martyrs and observed 2 minutes of silence. Various vehicles honked their horns and the siren sounded at 10:37 am across Yangon, about the same hour when BogyokeAung San and the martyrs were assassinated, as a gesture to observe the silence.
