Prime Minister distributed the homes along with the ownership documents of land among the beneficiaries through a video-conferencing from a function at her official Ganabhaban residence.
Over 18,566 more houses handed over to homeless and landless families as gift before Eid across the country under the government’s flagship housing programme-Ashrayan-2 Prakalpa to ensure housing for all.
Sheikh Hasina said, “Houses are being given free of cost under various Ashrayan projects. So, the living standard of the landless and homeless people has changed which brought self-dignity for them and made them self-confident. It is important for Bangladesh’s development”.
