At the house handing over ceremony, Manjur Alam said, "To realise the dream of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and following the model of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's Ashrayan Project, we are building houses for the homeless with our own funding as part of meeting the basic rights of people."
"Already, many homeless people have been given houses under this project. If the affluent in society follow suits, the homeless and underprivileged people will benefit," he added.
