Dhaka University Alumni Association (DUAA) has decided to defer its centenary reunion programme in the wake of the newly imposed restrictions over the rising Omicron cases of Covid.
The decision to suspend the programme slated for January 13 and 14 was taken as the government has imposed restrictions on public movement and other activities, the association said in a statement.
When the Covid situation eases, the programme will be scheduled again, it said.
