Mymensingh: State minister for textiles and jute Md. Shariful Alam announced today that 40 lakh families will be issued family cards in the next fiscal year. "Many of you know that within nine days of being elected, we waived the agricultural loans of the farmers of this country, especially the toiling farmers. Each family is being given a family card," Alam stated during a tin distribution ceremony held at the Town Hall's Shaheed M. Shamsul Haque Open Stage.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the state minister emphasized that since independence, many governments have come to power, but few have undertaken effective measures for the welfare of marginal, ordinary, toiling, working-class people. He assured that the current government would prioritize these communities.
The distribution of corrugated iron (CI) sheets was part of an initiative by the Mymensingh City Corporation (MCC) to provide free support to low-income families residing in slum areas. MCC Administrator Md. Rukunuzzaman Rokon explained that the initiative aims to transform marginal communities into prosperous ones.
The event was presided over by City Corporation Administrator Md. Rukunuzzaman Rokon and attended by Sadar constituency Member of Parliament Abu Wahab Akanda Wahid, Muktagacha constituency Member of Parliament Mohammad Zakir Hossain, Mymensingh District Council Administrator Syed Emran Saleh Prince, and City Corporation Acting Chief Executive Officer Sumna Al Majid, among others.
