Some of the work of Awami League government needs to be continued: Mahfuz Alam


Former advisor Mahfuz Alam suggested on Saturday, April 18, 2026, that certain initiatives started by the previous Awami League government should be continued, particularly those concerning heritage preservation.

In a Facebook post, he emphasized the need for a thorough archaeological survey of the Dhaka Central Jail area before proceeding with any park or museum projects.

Alam noted that such an investigation is crucial to validating Dhaka’s 400-year-old history. He argued that while modern urbanization and recreational spaces are necessary, preserving the city's historical identity is equally vital for future generations.
