Development of Khulna region
People of Khulna were very enthusiastically waiting to see the outcome of the adviser council meeting held in Khulna on 26 August, headed by the Honourable Chief Adviser.
The people of Khulna welcomed the meeting and made all efforts to make it a great success.
The outcome of the meeting has pleased the people of Khulna to a great extent, though the expectations were more in view of prolonged sufferings, deprivation and non-fulfilment of legitimate demands. Now we expect immediate implementation of the decisions made, ensuring availability of adequate funds to start with.
Unfortunately, two major and vital long standing demands have not been fulfilled. We don't understand why the issue of airport, the most important and basic element for the social and economic development, did not carry any importance to the advisers, while the government has been trying to make better use of Mongla Port, EPZ , along with developing the Sundarbans as a tourist spot. The people of Khulna would request the government to reconsider the issue without further delay.
Secondly, Khulna should have a television station to uphold the cultural events and activities of this locality and also to telecast various developmental activities in the region.
