As a gift from the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on the occasion of Mujib Year, beautiful houses are being constructed for the landless and homeless people of Baufal upazila in Patuakhali. This will change the fate of landless and homeless families. Under the Prime Minister's Asrayan-II project in Dhulia, Chandradwip, Adabaria, Kachipara and Boga Unions of the upazila, 244 families will get semi-finished houses and 2 hundred acres of land in the third phase.
It can be seen on the ground that the construction work of houses for the landless and homeless people on government khas land is in full swing in Dhulia and Chandradwip, the riverside unions of the upazila. Row upon row of dreams are coming true day by day. Beneficiaries are eagerly waiting for the time when they will get up to their dream home.
Beneficiaries of Dhulia Union are Hasina Begum (45), Ilias Gazi (50) and Mosa of Chandradwip Union. "Once upon a time we were landless and homeless," said Kamli, 60, and Lal Mia, 55. Sheikh Hasina has made a place for us. We pray for her and her father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Dhulia Union Parishad Chairman Humayun Kabir said, "Thousands of people in Dhulia have become homeless due to the erosion. People are living on the side of the road after losing soil. Hon'ble Prime Minister has given them a head start.”
