Deputy Speaker of the National Parliament, Kaiser Kamal, announced a special initiative to preserve the Hajong community’s language during a meeting with community members at the Durga Temple premises in Uttar Lengura Beltali Hajongpara, Kalmakanda, on Friday, April 24. Initially, teachers will be appointed at three major temples in Rangchhati, Lengura, and Kharnai unions of Kalmakanda upazila to teach the Hajong language to children.
Kamal emphasized that many languages are disappearing over time and that immediate action is necessary to prevent the Hajong language from facing extinction. He also visited erosion-prone areas along the Ganeshwari River and announced plans to install CC blocks to prevent riverbank erosion. Repair work in vulnerable areas will begin soon under the supervision of engineers, with local Hajong residents directly involved in implementation to ensure accountability and sincerity.
He reaffirmed his commitment to communal harmony, stating that his work serves all communities equally—Garo, Hajong, Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, and Christian—without discrimination.
