Residents of Bhola have started a fresh movement to press home six demands, including the construction of the Bhola-Barisal bridge and gas connections in every household. A signature campaign has been launched to draw the Prime Minister's attention.
The program was inaugurated on Saturday at 11 am on the Bhola Press Club premises by Alhaj Golam Nabi Alamgir, convener of the 'Amra Cholabasi' organization and district council administrator. Speakers said the people of the district have the first right to Bhola's natural gas and threatened larger movements if bridge construction does not start soon.
Organization member secretary Mir Mosharraf Omi stated that earlier programs like human chains and rallies brought no visible progress. The collected signatures will be sent to the Prime Minister.
