The New Nation’s role goes beyond news

Abdus Salam, Administrator of Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) and a freedom fighter, has extended his congratulations and best wishes to The New Nation on the occasion of its 47th anniversary.

In an interview marking the anniversary of The New Nation, he said, “On behalf of Dhaka South City Corporation, I extend my congratulations and best wishes to the editor, publisher, journalists, staff and readers of this renowned English-language daily.”

He described The New Nation as a long-established newspaper founded by Barrister Mainul Hosein, son of the late journalist Tofazzal Hossain Manik Miah.

He expressed hope that the newspaper would play an important role in strengthening democracy in Bangladesh and raising public awareness.

The BNP’s Dhaka Metropolitan South unit convener also expressed confidence that the newspaper would work alongside the city corporation and the public to improve civic services, keep the city clean and ease traffic congestion.

He said such joint efforts would help realise the vision of a “Clean Dhaka, Green Dhaka”.
