DHAKA, 16 March, 2021 (TON): In an effort to build one-story brick and cement houses, the government of Bangladesh is constructing houses for 30,000 freedom fighters and their families.

Each 635 square feet house, to be called Bir Nibas, will include two bedrooms, two washrooms, dining space, and a kitchen.

The project worth Tk 41.23 billion will be placed before the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council or ECNEC for approval on Tuesday.

The project will replace a previous program to build flats in multi-story buildings for the freedom fighters, said Mamun-Al-Rashid, a member of the Planning Commission.

However, this initiative taken by the government aims to improve the social status and develop the socio-economic condition of the freedom fighters and their families through Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s gift on the occasions of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s birth centenary and the golden jubilee of independence.
