Deputy Commissioner M Ehsan-e-Elahi said the PM would inaugurate eight projects and lay down the foundation stones of 10 more at a rally in the Shah Abdul Hamid Stadium on Saturday.
It is also expected that the premier might announce further initiatives for several other projects that have long been demanded by the Gaibandha residents.
Aminul Islam Golap, president of Gaibandha Nagarik Committee, said the demands of the local residents include constructing a multipurpose bridge over the Brahmaputra River at Balashighat-Bahadurabadghat point, building a town bypass road, setting up an agriculture college, nationalising Gaibandha Adarsha College, and finishing the incomplete works of four bridges.
Abu Bakar, general secretary of Awami League’s district unit, said: “Like others, we are also continuing the movement to realise the demands of the people here. We must place the demands to the prime minister during her visit so that it can be accepted.”
On the other hand, the different socio-cultural organizations have also put up roadside banners highlighting their demands for the district’s development.
