Welcome to Shahid Sergeant Zahurul Huq Hall! I am proud to introduce Shahid Sergeant Zahurul Huq Hall, University of Dhaka to you all. This is a historic institution that has played a critical role during the days of freedom struggle, Liberation War and anti-autocracy movement in Bangladesh. Students of this Hall took a pioneering role to hoist National Flag of Bangladesh on 2nd March 1971. This Hall is named after a valiant hero of Liberation, Sergeant Zahurul Huq who was one of the 35 persons accused in the Agartala Conspiracy Case officially called ‘State vs Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Others Case’ of 1968. Sergeant Zahurul Haq was the 17th among the accused. Zahurul Haq was arrested in December 1967 and was confined in Dhaka Central Jail. He was tragically martyred in jail when he was under trial. He was an uncompromising and honest soldier who was called ‘martial’ for his great love, courage and sacrifice for the nation. Studies at the University of Dhaka have indicated time and time again that the most important factor for students to have a great educational experience is the life in a Hall. Zahurul Hall provides all facilities for a student to grow in a perfect environment of life and living. The Hall has facilities for supporting students in their various needs of living, administrative, academic, extracurricular and psychological development.

Remarkably, the students of this Hall have never hesitated to join the movement for freedom, liberation and democracy.
