State Minister for Information and Broadcasting Yasser Khan Chowdhury inaugurated two separate development projects in Tarakanda and Haluaghat upazilas of Mymensingh on Tuesday. The projects include canal re-excavation and road improvement works. During his address as chief guest, he highlighted the government’s ongoing progress in infrastructure development and called on local residents to be aware and responsible in maintaining and sustaining these initiatives.

Member of Parliament for Mymensingh-2, Mufti Muhammadullah, attended the event as a special guest, along with other local representatives and officials. The state minister said the government is working consistently to bring the benefits of development to remote areas. He noted that the canal re-excavation project will improve water drainage, reduce waterlogging, and positively impact agricultural production.

He emphasized that the canals are being excavated for public benefit, but if they are filled again, the benefits will be lost. Therefore, he urged local communities to take part in preserving these development gains.
