Unity vital to Bogura’s development: Ruman

Prime Minister’s Additional Press Secretary Atikur Rahman Ruman has called for unity among people from all walks of life to transform Bogura into a major centre of economic growth, education, communications and industry.

“Bogura must keep pace with the development of other regions of the country. Unity among people from all walks of life is essential to take the district forward. Development should not be held back over minor issues. Everyone must rise above such differences for the greater interest of the district,” he said.

Ruman made the remarks while addressing a programme marking the anniversary of the Daily Bogura at the Karatoa Convention Centre in Bogura on Thursday.

Speaking at the event, State Minister Mir Shah Alam highlighted several major development initiatives aimed at turning Bogura into an important communications, industrial and economic hub in the northern region.

He said the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) had approved projects worth Tk2,700 crore for Bogura, with allocations to be distributed equally among the district’s seven parliamentary constituencies.
