Rangpur wears festive look to welcome PM Hasina Wednesday

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will address a public rally here on Wednesday which her party officials believe would be the largest ever in the history of the northern region, reports UNB.

An advance delegation of the ruling party, led by its General Secretary Obaidul Quader, on Tuesday reviewed the preparations for the divisional grand rally at Rangpur Zilla School ground.

โ€œThis is going to be the biggest ever rally in Rangpur,โ€ said Quader after inspecting the venue along with senior party leaders. โ€œThe people here are eagerly waiting to see the prime minister and hear from her.โ€

Hasina, who doubles as the president of Awami League, is expected to address the rally at 3pm, according to the PMO sources.

She is scheduled to arrive in Rangpur at 1:30pm on Wednesday by a helicopter and arrive at the rally ground at 3:30 pm. She will then be escorted to a large boat-shaped stage.
