“The botanical garden will be made children-friendly with conservation of vegetation and water bodies. It will be done in partnership with the British government,” said Environment, Forest and Climate Change Minister Saber Hossain Chowdhury.
The minister said this during a meeting with a delegation of British High Commission at his ministry in the Bangladesh Secretariat in the capital on Monday (January 22).
