He said these things while speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the rehabilitation (1st phase) of the Muhuri-Kahua flood control, drainage and irrigation project in the Ghatghar area of Parshuram, Feni, on Thursday.
Criticizing a political party without naming it, the Prime Minister said that due to their activities, Bangladesh's reputation is being damaged both domestically and internationally. Addressing that party, he said, ‘First manage your own house, then advise others.’
The Prime Minister said the BNP government is committed to establishing the rule of law. During the current government's five-year term, there are plans to upgrade all upazila health complexes in the country to 150 beds, as well as to launch dialysis facilities for kidney patients.
He said that, in line with the election manifesto, agricultural loans of up to Tk 10,000 were waived after the government was formed. About 13 lakh farmers benefited from this, and the government spent about Tk 1,500 crore.
The Prime Minister said that if the Muhuri-Kahua project is implemented, the people of greater Noakhali will be protected from flood risk. He also said that 34,000 hectares of new land will come under cultivation, and crop production will increase by about one lakh tons per year.
