RAJSHAHI, Aug 31, 2018 (BSS) – Information Secretary Abdul Malek has said
Bangladesh Betar has been playing a vital role in disseminating message of
the government’s development programmes among the country’s people.

Betar also plays an important role to reach emergency message to the
people living in hard-to-reach areas, the Secretary said while addressing a
view-exchange meeting with officers and employees of Rajshahi Station of
Betar here yesterday afternoon.

Chaired by Regional Director-in-Charge of Betar Hassan Akhter, the
meeting was addressed, among others, by Deputy Commissioner SM Abdul Kader
and Engineer of Bangladesh Television Zillur Rashid.

Abdul Malek said the present government under the dynamic leadership of
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has taken various effective steps to combat
militancy, terrorism, sexual harassment and road traffic accidents in the
country.

He urged local Betar officials to reach information to the people quickly
as Bangladesh Betar is an important medium to disseminate necessary
information at grassroots level.

Malek urged the officials and staff concerned to disseminate the
development message of Prime Minister’s Ten Special Initiatives, including
community clinic, safety net programme and Ekti Bari Ekti Khamar project,
among marginal people.
