ISRT family deeply expresses the grief of losing its former director Professor Khadija Khatun. She passed away on 27th February 2017. Her funeral prayer (Namaz-e-Janaza) will be held today (27th February) after Maghrib prayer at the central mosque of Dhaka University. Her dedication towards ISRT and overall academic, research arena is unparallel. We mourn for this demise of such a devoted academic, pray for the departed soul and extend our condolences to her aggrieved family.
