BSS, Dhaka :
Minister for Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Engineer Khondoker Mosharraf Hossain said through realizing the development plans of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Bangabandhu’s dream of a “Golden Bengal” would be attained.
Simultaneously he called upon the engineers of the Public Health Engineering Department to create enough reservoirs to hold monsoon water.
