Planning Minister MA Mannan said that the world is in turmoil due to global issues. We are currently under a bit of financial pressure. Don’t be afraid, fear is nothing. We are healthy. We are not at the stage we were at before Corona. That is why you sometimes feel that the speed of development has slowed down. We will soon gain this momentum, and complete the tasks at hand. There is much more work to be done.

He said this in the speech of the chief guest at the seminar titled ‘Development of Moulvibazar district and what we should do’ at Moulvibazar Rest Inn Hotel on Wednesday (May 24) afternoon.

In response to the questions of the journalists, the Planning Minister said, riding in the swamps of Haor, work should be done carefully on the coast. The construction of the Howre Dam obstructs the flow of water. The water rises from house to house. The administration is regularly supervising the protection of Haor’s environment. We also lack awareness.

Under the chairmanship of Moulvibazar Deputy Commissioner Dr. Urmi Binte Salam, the special guests in the seminar were Moulvibazar-3 Constituency Member of Parliament Neshar Ahmed, reserved women Member of Parliament Syeda Zohra Alauddin, Zilla Parishad Chairman Michbahur Rahman, Municipality Mayor Md. Fazlur Rahman and Sadar Upazila Chairman Md. Kamal Hossain, campaign group co-ordinator Mohammad Mokis Mansoor, and others.

This seminar was organized by Government Medical College and Public University Chai World Wide Campaign Group in Moulvibazar. Speakers in the seminar demanded the construction of an alternative bridge over the Manu River, Government Medical College, and Agricultural University in Moulvibazar. The Planning Minister assured to fulfill the demands.
