Chattogram Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Mominur Rahman said, brave freedom fighters are the best asset of the country and nation. They should be respected. Honorable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, daughter of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, has undertaken various programs for the welfare of the brave freedom fighters. The current government has created various honors and opportunities including increasing the honorarium of the brave freedom fighters, burial with state dignity. Even after 50 years of independence, the Mujib centenary is being honoured today by distributing digital certificates and smart cards. A certificate and ID card have increased the value and privileges of freedom fighters. This is possible because the Awami League government is in power.
8080 digital certificates and 4102 smart ID cards are sent here. Of which 327 are alive in the city, 225 are dead. A total of 552 people in the city and other upazilas. The dead freedom fighters will only get certificates, not smart cards.
