Mayor Annisul Huq passed away

Dhaka North City Corporation Mayor Annisul Huq lost the battle for life in a London hospital last night, after nearly three months' treatment there.

He breathed his last at Bangladesh time 10:23pm. He was 65.

Suffering from neurological problem (dizziness and a lack of balance) for the last several months, he was admitted to the neurology hospital in central London on August 13, where he was diagnosed with cerebral vasculitis.

He was showing improvements lately, but his condition deteriorated suddenly on Tuesday and had been shifted to the intensive care unit (ICU).

Annisul left behind his wife Rubana Huq, three children and a host of relatives, admirers, well-wishers and followers to mourn his death.
A namaz-e-janaza of the late mayor will also be held at London Central Mosque near Regent's Park after the Juma prayers on Friday. 

President Md Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina have condoled the sudden demise of the mayor.

Finance Minister AMA Muhith and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader have also mourned him
