Major (Retd.) Hafiz Uddin Ahmed Bir Bikram, the newly elected Speaker of the National Parliament, was honored by residents of Lalmohan upazila in Bhola. The civic reception, organized by the Lalmohan Citizens’ Forum, took place on Thursday afternoon at the upazila auditorium. During his speech, the Speaker said he did not come to receive honors but to express gratitude to the people of Lalmohan-Tajumuddin. He noted that his responsibilities as Speaker had increased, limiting his ability to visit the area frequently, and expressed his wish to live and die with honor and dignity.

In his address, Hafiz Uddin described the Bhola-Barishal bridge as a rightful and vital demand of the region’s people and assured that he would make maximum efforts to implement the project. He also mentioned plans to initiate the establishment of a medical college in Bhola and said he would request the Prime Minister and the Health Minister to consider setting it up in Lalmohan.

The event reflected local appreciation for the Speaker’s leadership and his commitment to regional development priorities.
