Human chain for upazila
A human chain was formed in front of Barisal Ashwani Kumar Hall yesterday to press home the demand for an upazila, comprising eight unions on the eastern bank of the Kirtonkhola River. Barisal Purbancholio Unnayan Parishad organised the programme. At the human chain, the speakers said due to river erosion, the residents of eight out of 10 unions under Barisal Sadar upazila face serious problems to perform their activities at the upazila headquarters. They urged the government to meet their demand immediately. Otherwise, they threatened to continue their agitation.
