BNP Standing Committee member and Narsingdi-2 MP Dr. Abdul Moin Khan inaugurated a canal excavation program at Mirzapur village in Kachikata Union, Monohardi upazila, on Monday, March 16. He said that late President Ziaur Rahman had personally initiated canal digging to advance Bangladesh’s agriculture, and current Prime Minister Tarique Rahman also believes in action over words. Moin Khan emphasized that maintaining natural water flow is vital for human civilization and that the Prime Minister launched the program within a month of his promise.

The inauguration was attended by Health and Family Welfare Minister and local MP Sardar Md. Sakhawat Hossain Bakul, along with five other MPs from Narsingdi. District Commissioner Mohammad Anwar Hossain presided over the event, which was also attended by MPs Khairul Kabir Khokon, Monjur Elahi, and Ashraf Uddin, as well as local officials and community representatives. Bakul stated that the canal excavation, following the legacy of President Ziaur Rahman, aims to benefit farmers by improving irrigation and productivity.

According to the organizers, farmers are expected to gain full benefits from the canal before the upcoming monsoon season.
