US to release pictorial postmark marking Bangabandhu’s birth centenary

DHAKA, March 7, 2020 (BSS) – In line with the worldwide programmes to
celebrate the birth centenary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh
Mujibur Rahman, The United States Postal Service (USPS) has taken an
initiative to release pictorial postmark to glorify Bangabandhu’s birth
centenary.

Jackson Heights Post Office, in New York, will release the pictorial
postmark on Bangabandhu’s upcoming birthday on March 17, responding to a
request of a New York based Bangladeshi organization Muktadhara Foundation
(MF), said a press release here today.

The Stamp Fulfillment Services of the USPS has confirmed the matter through
sending a message to MF’s Chief Executive Bishwajit Saha, saying that the
pictorial postmark will be valid for 30 days from March 17, the release
added.

The postmark, however, will be available only at the Jackson Heights Post
Office, it said.
