Residents of Osmaninagar upazila in Sylhet have presented a six-point development demand to Humayun Kabir, the Prime Minister’s Adviser with the rank of State Minister, seeking comprehensive development, modern civic facilities, and administrative good governance. The demands highlight long-standing neglect, poor infrastructure, limited education and healthcare services, lack of gas and uninterrupted electricity, unemployment, and administrative irregularities.

Local citizens emphasized that despite being part of the Sylhet gas production zone, many areas still lack gas connections. They urged rapid expansion of gas and electricity supply, declaration of Osmaninagar as a municipality, and improvements in drainage, roads, and sanitation. The newly approved upazila health complex requires specialist doctors, modern equipment, and regular staff presence. Education issues include classroom shortages, teacher scarcity, and stalled implementation of a technical training center and technical school and college project.

Community leaders and educators stated that visible, sustainable development is essential to improve living standards. They called for coordinated initiatives to ensure quality education, healthcare, and infrastructure, warning that without real progress, citizens’ long-held expectations will remain unmet.
