Mymensingh division was formed on 14 September 2015 consisting of Jamalpur, Sherpur, Mymensingh and Netrokona districts. This time, the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications Mustafa Jabbar expressed his determination to make this Division a smart division.
The minister made the remarks while addressing a discussion meeting organized by the Mymensingh Divisional Association in Dhaka on the occasion of the first death anniversary of Advocate Anisur Rahman Khan, leader of the Mymensingh Division Formation Movement, on Thursday night.
And by making this determination a reality, under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina; it will be possible to pay due respect to the late Anisur Rahman Khan, opined the minister.
He said that although Mymensingh was the largest district of British India, not much importance was given to the progress of the region before the government led by Hon’ble Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Nothing can be a better way to pay homage to Advocate Md. Anisur Rahman Khan establishing the Mymensingh divisional city as a smart city. Greater Mymensingh can be developed as an important region for national progress through the planned use of alluvial fertile soil, huge natural resources, traditional culture and vast water resources of the haor.
Heroic freedom fighter Mustafa Jabbar also stressed the need for the concerned people to be more active in speeding up the implementation of the plan adopted for the divisional city.
