BARISAL, Feb 12 (UNB): The government has decided to award Bangladesh citizenship to British national Lucy Helen Frances Holt, 87, who has been living and doing social works in the country for the last 57 years.
The decision was taken at an inter-ministerial meeting held at the Secretariat on Monday, said deputy commissioner of Barisal Md Habibur Rahman.
On February 8 last, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina handed over a passport with 15-year multiple Bangladeshi visa to the British woman, who wished to breath her last on the soil of this country as he had to bother with renewing her visa every year.
Lucy, daughter of John Holt and Frances Holt, was born in the British town of St Helens in 1930.
