Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) has officially named the road stretching from Uttara North Metro Station to Mirpur Cantonment DOHS MP Checkpost as 'Ahmed Sofa Sarani', in honor of the late writer and intellectual Ahmed Sofa. The inauguration ceremony took place on December 21 near Uttara South Metro Station, attended by Professor Dr. Salimullah Khan as chief guest and DNCC Administrator Mohammad Ejaz as chair.

During the event, Dr. Khan highlighted Ahmed Sofa’s contribution to Bangladesh’s liberation movement, recalling his publication of the first wartime book 'Jagrat Bangladesh' in 1971. He noted the symbolic significance of the naming, given Sofa’s earlier exclusion from burial at the Martyred Intellectuals’ Cemetery. Administrator Ejaz emphasized DNCC’s approach to 'narrative-based governance', linking urban infrastructure with cultural memory.

The initiative reflects DNCC’s broader effort to integrate the city’s historical and intellectual heritage into its development projects. Officials and cultural figures present described the naming as a tribute to those who shaped the nation’s identity and thought.
