Building road voluntarily!

S.A. Mansoor, Dhaka
The Tangail correspondent of a local English daily reported this matter, published on June 6th issue of the daily. It was indeed a commendable matter; where villagers voluntarily improved their local communication facilities! As a villager told the correspondent that: "It was a matter of great pride, and a different kind of joy, to build the road with our own money and labour"! This is indeed a worthwhile matter, and should set an example, for others to follow! It should be widely covered in our audio-visual and print media; that can motivate others to take up similar projects on voluntary basis. Congratulations to the people of Protima Bonki village in Tangail, for this example of civic service for their common good! The government should officially recognise this excellent voluntary effort of the villagers, and see to it, that it is widely publicised all over Bangladesh!
