Dhaka: Tens of thousands of Bangladeshi volunteers along with the country's head of the government on Wednesday sang the national anthem in chorus in capital Dhaka on the country's Independence Day in a bid to breach the Guinness World Record.

Bangladeshi people sing the national anthem at 4.31 pm, the exact moment when the Pakistan army surrendered on this day in 1971, as they gather at a rally to mark the country's Victory Day in Dhaka on December 16, 2013. Pic: AFP
