BNP Secretary General and Local Government and Rural Development Minister Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir announced that he will write to the Prime Minister proposing government allowances for families of disappeared persons. He made the statement on Sunday at the Bangladesh Film Archive auditorium in Agargaon, Dhaka, during the inauguration of the documentary film 'Mayer Dak' marking International Women’s Day.

Fakhrul said families of disappeared individuals have long been living in hardship, citing the example of Munna’s mother who struggles to support her children. He noted that while various government allowances exist, no initiative has yet been taken for these families. He emphasized that helping them would give meaning to the government’s achievements and ensure a better future for the children of those who disappeared.

He also mentioned a new film project aimed at portraying the nation’s history accurately and expressed hope that current struggles would inspire high-quality creative works representing Bangladesh globally.
