President promises to make Bhairab district

UNB, Bhairab
President Zillur Rahman yesterday said he would keep on his all-out efforts to upgrade Bhairab into a district to fulfill the long-cherished demand of the local people.
“I promise you, I'll carry on my best efforts to upgrade Bhairab into a district." he told a civic reception accorded to him on the Bhairab Haji Asmat College premises.
His assurance came as the _ local people in their ‘Address of Honour", given to the president, put forward their nine-point demand for the development of Bhairab.
Zillur said. “I'm taking on my shoulder one of your demands -- making Bhairab a district -- for its fulfillment, and asking the local MPs to meet your rest eight demands."
Their other demands include construction of Bhairab town protection dam, setting up a science and technology university in Bhairab, developing various educational institutions, mosques
and temples, constructing a trauma hospital and a tourism centre there.
He asked the authorities concerned to immediately take effective steps to rename the bridge built over the Meghna River after Syed Nazrul Islam, one of the organisers of the Liberation War and the then acting president of Bangladesh.
The aim of the liberation war, he said, was to build a happy and prosperous Bangladesh. “But the country's people could not achieve the goal in over 38 years of independence. The Father of the Nation was killed along with his family members to block the path of development and democracy.’’
Recalling the killing of his wife IV Rahman in a grenade attack, the president said the conspirators are not sitting idle as they are moving ahead with their destructive activities. "So, we all will have to resist the conspirators.”
Referring to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's declared 'Vision 2021' for building a
country based on information and technology in its golden jubilee of independence, Zillur urged the countrymen to work unitedly for implementation of the PM's charter of change. "I openly urge all to make their respective contributions towards building the nation," he said.
He expressed his gratefulness to the people of all walks of life for according him such a huge reception. “Your inartificial love has impressed and inspired me. You take my Salam," he said.
M Saidullah Miah, convenor of the citizens' reception committee and president of Bhairab Chamber of Commerce and Industry, presided over the reception. Local lawmakers Nazmul Hasan Papon and Afzal Hossain were present.
Later, Zillur inaugurated a memorial sculpture titled 'Durjoy Bhairab' in the town. He also visited his family graveyard and offered fatcha and munjat, seeking divine blessings for the departed souls of his relatives.
