Mymensingh: State Minister for Information and Broadcasting Yasser Khan Choudhury has urged everyone to dispose of wastes of sacrificial animals at the designated locations during the holy Eid-ul-Azha to avert environment pollution. He made the call while speaking as the chief guest at a ceremony organized by the Mymensingh City Corporation at Town Hall here.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Yasser distributed Eid gift items among 4,737 underprivileged families ahead of the holy Eid. He stated that the nationwide canal excavation programme has significantly reduced waterlogging. In the past, roads of Dhaka and Mymensingh frequently experienced severe waterlogging during heavy downpours. However, due to the planned development of the present government, around 60 percent of those roads now suffer no waterlogging.
Highlighting the government’s development initiatives within a short period after assuming office, the state minister expressed hope that the Family Card and Farmer’s Card programmes will significantly benefit the people and change their living standard. Mymensingh city administrator Rukunuzzaman Rokon chaired the programme, with other local government officials present.
