The minister said it takes 10 to 15 years to launch an airport. He does not think any other airport is needed within 100 kilometers of Dhaka; the location of the Trishal airport is more than 100 kilometers away. About two thousand acres of land are needed, and work is underway to acquire those; if everything is in order in the survey, only then will they proceed.
At the event, the aviation minister also said it is absurd to imagine that the fascists ousted from the country through the mass uprising will return. At their instigation, some miscreants are causing incidents of violence, and these are being shown more and more through AI technology so that the government cannot remain stable. However, these attempts to create instability have already failed, and no one will get away with trying to create instability in the country, he also said.
The minister said the workers have understood the attempt to damage factories by keeping workers off work through incitement in the name of a workers' movement. Their wage board has been formed; the prime minister is working hard to increase workers' income and earnings. He also remarked that the workers did not carry out the movement; some spies of the fascists instigated and carried out this movement.
The tourism minister further said the government has a master plan to make Netrokona's Durgapur, Birishiri and Mymensingh's Haluaghat—all together—a tourism area.
‘Not transforming villages into cities, but making villages self-reliant is the true path to sustainable development’—in the final round of the debate competition on this topic, Nandail Pilot Girls' High School, participating on the opposition side, became champion, and Cantonment Public School and College, participating on the proposition side, became runner-up. Later, the minister handed prizes to the winning and runner-up teams.
Under the chairmanship of District Commissioner Saifur Rahman, the event was also attended by Member of Parliament for Mymensingh Sadar constituency Abu Wahab Akanda, convener of South District BNP and MP for Muktagacha constituency Zakir Hossain Bablu, MP for Trishal constituency Mahbubur Rahman Liton, MP for Ishwarganj constituency Lutfullahil Majed, member secretary of South District BNP and mayor of the City Corporation Ruknuzzaman Rukan, chairman of Mymensingh Development Authority Motahar Hossain Talukdar, Superintendent of Police Kamrul Hasan, along with teachers and students of various educational institutions and local BNP leaders.
