In the meeting, Bogra-6 (Sadar) MP Rezaul Karim Badsha of Sadar constituency said, “When we started working on the development of Bogra, various conspiracies started. Some issues are being brought up very forcefully on social media to divert people’s attention.” As if the development of Bogra has stopped. But they forget that there has been no development in the last 17 years. If Bogra had been developed equally in the last 17 years, there would have been no talk. Only Bogra district has been deprived alone. Now, plans are being made to build a city bypass along the Karatoya River in Bogra. So that the city’s traffic jams are relieved. The second Jamuna Bridge will be built to bring the northern districts to the development list. Plans to build a sports complex for all children and youth in Bogra have also moved forward. Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has promised to develop Bogra, which has been deprived of development since the past. An international airport, including a university, cargo service, and an economic zone will be built.

The Bogra Sports Reporters Association has been celebrating World Sports Journalists Day on July 2 in Bogra since 2013. This organization is also contributing to the development of local sports by welcoming athletes, sports organizers, and sports reporters.
