Experts at an international conference held recently in Dhaka [ অ

এ ব ] have identified the lack of professionals at

the local government institutions [

অ ব ] as a fundamental barrier to planned urbanisation in

the country. [ ব ধ ব]

As of now, out of the country's 328 municipalities, [এই , ৮

] only 30 have a town planner each [ এ

] and there is not even a post for an architect.[এব এ

খ এ ই।]

No wonder [ ই] unplanned urbanisation has been taking its toll

on our cities, especially Dhaka. [অ ব

ই (অ )]

Studies done by experts [ ব ব ] have also found that [ খ

] only 20 percent of our qualified town planners [

] are currently involved in town planning [

অ ] whereas each of the 172 first-category municipalities is

supposed to have one town planner.[ খ ১৭

ই এ ব ]

According to 1992 service rules, [১৯৯ ব ই অ ] the local government

ministry has the power to appoint town planners and architects [


Page | 4

এব খ] to the municipalities

[ .]

The ministry must use its decision-making power. [

ব ।]

At the same time, our municipalities and city corporations must be

empowered with proper funds and administrative authority. [ ই

ব।]

Moreover, a national urban development council and a national commission

should be formed [ , এ ব এব এ

ঠ ] and a national urbanisation policy be made [এব এ

] for effective functioning of the local

government institutions, [ ] as

suggested by the experts.[ ব অ ।]

Unless these basic demands made by the professionals are met,[ এ ব

ব ] the government's initiatives to

develop the country [ ] and achieve the

sustainable development goals [এব ই

( ) ] with regard to urbanisation, [ ] are bound

to fail. [ব ব ধ ।]

For planned urbanisation,[ ] we need comprehensive

planning.[ ব ।] And to do that,[এব এ ব ব ]

city planners, architects and the local government institutions [


Page | 5

, ] must work in coordination.

[ ব।]

Already, our capital city Dhaka has been ranked as one of the least liveable

cities in the world. [ ধ ই ব ই ব ব ব

।]

It is high time that we took steps for planned urbanisation of our cities.

We feel very proud that - ব ব ধ Unesco has recognised

Bangabandhu's historic 7th March speech as a world documentary heritage -

ই ব ব ৭ ই এ ব ব

।

Bangabandhu's awe-inspiring speech was a pivotal moment in the history of

our liberation movement, - ধ ই ব ব

ব অ ব ধ । and we in Bangladesh, have

always felt it should be shared with the world - এব এ ব অ

ব , ব ব অ ব ।

That the speech which galvanised our independence movement - ,

ধ ব ব ব has been granted

recognition at the international level - ] is a

momentous occasion for us - ( এ ব এ that খ ) ই এ

এ / ।

We congratulate Unesco - ই অ ই for according to the

speech what was long overdue: its universality - অ ব

এ : এ ব ।

The 7th March speech holds a special place in our history and in the hearts

of the people of Bangladesh - ৭ই ই এব ব

এ ব খ ।

For it is this very speech that set the tone for the Liberation War - এই

এ ই ই ধ (tone)

which would begin 18 days later - ( ) ১৮ and inspired


Page | 8

millions of Bengalis to prepare for war - এব ব ঙ

অ ।

Bangabandhu, through one of the greatest speeches of all time - ব

ব ধ ব ব encapsulated the plight of the Bengali people -

ব ব and provided the final direction in the

struggle for freedom - এব ধ

which would soon go on to result in an independent country - ( ) ই

এ ধ ।

But as we know, [ ] this freedom came at a price:[এই

ধ এ এ ] it cost the lives of three million people,[এ খ

] hundreds of thousands of women were raped,[

ধ ] and millions became refugees [এব খ খ

] during the nine-month war.[৯ ]

Unesco's recognition is a reminder[ই এ ] that the

atrocities committed by the Pakistan army [

] and the memory of our martyrs can never be forgotten, [এব

খ ই ব ] especially at a time when some

countries are going as far as to denigrate our glorious struggle. [ ব

ই খ ব ]

(এ ব ই এ ব ]

A case in point is [এই ধ এ ] the recent attempt to distort

history [ই ব ] through a misleading video footage

released on a webpage maintained by the Pakistan High Commission in


Page | 9

Dhaka.[ ব ব

ধ ]

Bangabandhu's 7th March speech has always been an instrument of

inspiration for Bangladesh, [ব ব ব ৭ই অ এ

ব ব ]and now, with the status of world documentary

heritage, [এব এখ ব ] has transcended

national boundaries. [ অ ]

This historic speech goes beyond being the exclusive preserve, and should be

treated as such. [এই , এব এ ই ]

We would also like to suggest to the government to guard against its misuse

by opportunistic politicians for political aggrandisement. [

ই ধ বধ এ অ ব ব ব

]

It may be worth considering a guidance code [এ ব ধ

ব ব ] which would lay down the occasions that it can be played

[ ধ ব খ ব] so that it is not made

light of by overuse and misuse. [ এ অ ব ব এব অ ব ব

The nation mourns the brutal killings of Syed Nazrul Islam, Tajuddin Ahmad,

Captain (Rtd.) Mansur Ali and AHM Qamaruzzaman this day forty-two years

ago. [৪ ব ব এই ই , ,

এব এএই এ ।]

It is an infamy that added the second blot in our history [এ এ

ই ] following the killing of the Father of


Page | 11

the Nation along with almost all the close members of his family on August

15. [১৫ ই ব ব (এ

ই ।)]

It was a very well-planned move [এ খ বই - ] to deprive

the nation of the leadership that [ ব ] they

were capable of providing the people of Bangladesh in the absence of

Bangabandhu. [ ব ব অ ব

খ ]

As his trusted lieutenants, they had skillfully steered the Liberation War

towards the final conclusion in 1971. [ (ব ব ) ব ব,

1971 ব ।]

But that was not to be. [ ( ) ।]

We recall with gratitude the extraordinary service [

অ ধ ব ] they provided the nation during the very seminal

stages of our independence. [(that ) , ধ

, ।]

Their killings were a double blow for us, [

] and the nation has suffered for a considerable period the odious

consequences of politics of killing [এব ব

] and murder that was initiated on the fateful day

of August 15, 1975. [এব ১৫ই ।]


Page | 12

We thank the Sheikh Hasina government [ খ ধ ব

ই] for initiating the legal process to bring the killers of the 1975

tragedies to justice. [১৯৭৫ ব

ই ।]

However, some of the killers remain at large. [ , এখ

And we hope that [ ] the government would do everything to

bring them back [ ব ব ] from wherever they are

ensconced in [ খ ই খ ] and make them face the

punishment they have been awarded by the court. [এব

Only then will the wheel of justice complete its full circle, [ ব খ ব

ব ই ] and only then can we as a nation feel

completely absolved of the guilt [এব খ ব অ ধ ব ধ

অব ব ] that we have been carrying. [ (অ ধ ব ধ) ব ]

We join the nation in mourning the death of the four national leaders and

pray for the departed souls. [
