UNB, Dhaka :
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday said the government will arrange housing for those losing their homes in flood and riverbank erosion alongside rehabilitating the landless and homeless people across the country.
“This time the flood looks to be serious… more floods are likely to occur in August and September.
We’ve preparations to face these. We’ll also arrange accommodation and lands for those losing their homes in flood or river erosion,” she said.
The Prime Minister said this while opening the special structures built under ‘Khurushkul Ashrayan Project’ in Cox’s Bazar for 600 climate refugees.
Sheikh Hasina inaugurated 20 five-storey structures constructed in the first phase of the world’s biggest climate refugee rehabilitation project at Khurushkul on the outskirts of Cox’s Bazar through a videoconference from her official residence Ganobhaban. The 600 families are getting their new abodes with all modern facilities in 20 structures, each having 32 flats, constructed on the bank of the Bakkhali River, just three kilometres off the beach town.
At the inaugural function, some beneficiaries were handed over the keys of the 456-square foot flats.
The Prime Minister said the government is taking measures for the rehabilitation of landless and homeless people throughout the country.
“In the birth centenary of the Father of the Nation, our goal is that not a single person in Bangladesh would remain homeless,” she said adding that the government will arrange home for every person. Hasina said Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had a dream that Bangladesh would be a hunger- and poverty-free country and her government is on the track to fulfill this dream.
