Our people’s representatives demand that they want a high-tech park and Sheikh Kamal IT Incubation Center to attract more investment in modern technology. But 12 years ago, the people of this area demanded electricity connection, road repairs and paving of unpaved roads. These demands have been met by the Prime Minister, but new demands are being raised today for a better life.’
“Why the murderers of Bangabandhu have exploited in the name of the rule for 21 years after 75 years”; Criticizing them, the state minister said, “Why the development was unseen on their time and now it has. What “Magic” public leader Sheikh Hasina has that she was able to turn a poor country into a Digital Bangladesh. The first reason is the honesty of the Prime Minister, the second is courage and the third is his foresight. He is honest, brave and far-sighted because Bangladesh has come so far in such a fast time.”
Stating that there has been a huge development in Dohar, the state minister said, “It seems to me that I have come here to another area of Dhaka.” There is no difference between Dhaka’s Gulshan-Banani and Nawabganj’s markets and shopping malls. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has bridged the gap between this city and the village. In last 12 years, Sheikh Hasina has transformed from a poor state to a dignified middle-income state.’
Finally, the Honorable Prime Minister’s Private Industry and Investment Affairs Honorable Adviser Mr. Salman F Rahman inaugurated connectivity in 22 unions in Nawabganj and Dohar Upazilas under the Info Sarkar-3 project of the ICT Division.
