"Every person should be aware and develop himself as a citizen. If I am not a citizen and do not fulfill my responsibilities, it is not possible for the government to do everything," he said.

Mirza Fakhrul said the government is working sincerely to address various issues, including the protection of women and children and prevention of drug abuse. He mentioned that laws have been amended and stricter measures, including the death penalty, have been introduced to curb serious crimes and drug-related offences.

Hospital Modernization

Mirza Fakhrul highlighted that Thakurgaon General Hospital has been modernized, with its capacity increased from 250 to 670 beds. The authorities will identify the hospital's remaining shortcomings and take necessary steps to address them, he added.

Development Projects

The minister also mentioned that development projects planned to be implemented with China's assistance would be carried out gradually. A team of students has already been selected and will visit Thakurgaon after returning home, he said.
