Banners of pledge for changes
An exceptional exhibition of 2,500 banners titled “Bodle Jao Bodle Dao” with people's pledge for changes will be held on the world's longest sea beach Cox's Bazar today.
The programme organised by the daily Prothom Alo and its Bandhusabha (Friends' Club) will last for one hour starting from 3:30pm at a stretch of six kilometres beach area from Kalatoli Surfing Point to Samitipara.
The members of the Bandhusabha will throng to the sandy beach from seven points in Cox's Bazar. People from various walks of life -- writers, artists and journalists-- from across the country will join them.
On the occasion, a huge flag rally was held on the Cox's Bazar beach wishing prosperity of the country yesterday.
Today's exhibition is expected to find a place in the Guinness Book of Records. Under the programme, banners containing pledges of over one lakh people had been collected from across the country for the last one month.
At the last preparatory meeting attended by around 300 members of Bandhusabha at Hotel Laboni in Cox's Bazar, Prothom Alo Editor Matiur Rahman said, “We want to take Bangladesh to a different position.”
He said little changes can bring about a sea change of the country in the next 10 to 20 years but for that one has to change oneself first.
Bandhusabha National Governing Council President Anisul Haque, General Secretary Sayeeduzzaman Rawshan, Programme Manager Saiful Azim, Bandhusabha Cox's Bazar President Bishawjith Pal and General Secretary Didarul Alam and Prothom Alo Cox's Bazar correspondent Abdul Kuddus Rana also spoke.
