Sarjis Alam, the chief organizer of the National Citizen Party (NCP) for the northern region, has called for the establishment of a new army cantonment in Panchagarh. He made the appeal to the Prime Minister through a Facebook post on Wednesday night, emphasizing the need for such a facility in the district.

In his post, Alam wrote, “Honourable Prime Minister, we want a cantonment in Panchagarh.” His demand highlighted the district’s geopolitical and security importance, which he argued justified the creation of a cantonment there. The post quickly drew attention from social media users.

The call reflects growing local interest in strengthening security infrastructure in Panchagarh, though no official response from the government has yet been reported.
