Gazipur: Administrator of Gazipur Zila Parishad and district BNP member secretary Dr. Chowdhury Ishrak Ahmed Siddiqui today inaugurated 30 development projects simultaneously in different areas of Phulbaria Union in Kaliakair upazila of the district. The projects were inaugurated throughout the day from Saturday morning and include renovation of branch roads in remote areas that have become unsuitable for vehicular movement, infrastructural development of various madrasas and orphanages, and other public welfare initiatives.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, speaking at the inauguration ceremonies, Dr. Chowdhury Ishrak Ahmed Siddiqui emphasized that development should not remain confined to urban areas, as people living in remote areas also have an equal right to development opportunities. "These projects have been taken up by prioritizing the needs of the people," he stated, adding that initiatives would be taken gradually to address the longstanding communication and other problems faced by residents of remote areas. He also stressed the need to ensure proper implementation of the projects.
Local residents expressed that this initiative would reduce the longstanding travel difficulties faced by students, farmers, traders, and other people. They appreciated the effort to undertake several development projects simultaneously and urged the authorities to ensure their timely and quality implementation.
