Shela Guha, an old woman without a home, had to beg for food barely months back. Now help is there and that is from the Prime Minister!
"We’ve become lakhpoti (one who owns assets worth Tk 100k) overnight," Shela, a resident of Sreemangal upazila, told PM Sheikh Hasina after receiving a home
under the Ashrayan-2 project on Sunday.
Moved by the gift of life, a semi-pucca house, Shela burst into tears of joy.
She shared her feelings with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina during a virtual function arranged to hand over 53,340 tin-shed houses on two decimals of land to the homeless families across the country in the second phase of the Mujib Year.
The Prime Minister inaugurated the home-distribution activities in 459 upazilas through the videoconference from her official residence Ganobhaban.
