Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 81494, member: 636"] Khaleda Zia's tomb is now open for public visits. The mausoleum for the former prime minister and BNP leader at Zia Udyan in Dhaka's Sher-e-Bangla Nagar area opened around noon, with crowds of party supporters and citizens gathering since morning to pay their respects. Many had waited behind barriers near the Bijoy Sarani intersection while the park underwent renovations, some praying from the roadside. Authorities have reopened the entire park, deploying police and other security personnel to manage the area. Zia, who died early Tuesday at Evercare Hospital, was buried with state honors on Wednesday next to her husband, former president Ziaur Rahman. [/QUOTE]
