Amar Desh to return by Dec

The daily Amar Desh is set to return to circulation by December, according to its publisher and editor, Mahmudur Rahman.

He made the announcement during a press conference yesterday at Jatiya Press Club.

"We will bring Amar Desh back to stand against Indian expansionism and looters. We urge the government not to place any legal obstacles in its relaunch," Mahmudur said.

He accused the previous government of destroying the newspaper's press and highlighted that setting up a new one would take time. However, he confirmed plans to print the paper from two other presses in the interim.

"Amar Desh stands outside corporate and political interests, and it is essential to defend the country's sovereignty," he said.

He also mentioned the need to secure a new office before printing could resume. Rahman estimated the losses to the press machinery at Tk 25 crore, paper losses at Tk 10 crore, and fire damage to the office at Tk 100 crore.
