RAJSHAHI, Aug 30 (BSS): Implementation work of the 'Upazila Freedom Fighters Complex Construction Project' is now going on throughout the country successfully as recognition to supreme sacrifice of the great sons of the soil to the nation.

Project Director Engineer Mujibul Haque Somaji told BSS here that requisite physical infrastructures are being developed for the Upazila level freedom fighters and their family members for the first time.

In preliminary stage, a three-storied building on five-story foundation will be constructed in each of the 422 upazilas in all 64 districts in phases. Basically, the complex buildings will be constructed on government vacant land. But the project has scope of land acquisition in limited scale.

The initiative has been taken to inspire people with patriotism through highlighting the spirit of the Great War of liberation. In all respects, the complex will supplement uplifting overall scenario of the Upazila towns coupled with elevating civic life.
