Chattogram CRB has to be saved at any cost. Helal Akbar Chowdhury Babor said this at an Iftar party organized at CRB in the city on Saturday.

He organized this Iftar gathering courtesy of the civil society which has been agitating for the protection of CRB for 10 months.

Protesting against the construction of a private hospital in CRB, Helal Akbar Chowdhury Babor said that CRB is a forest land of green trees in Chattogram.  The CRB has a unique variety of natural beauty and centennial trees since the British rule.  When the temperature in Chattogram is 36 degrees in summer, the temperature in CRB area is 32 degrees.  The townspeople rushed to the CRB for a breath of fresh air and peace of mind.

He said if a hospital is built in CRB, the green forest will be lost and the hundred-year-old trees will not be saved.

 The townspeople will lose their place of last peace.  Many hospitals can be built, but once the CRB is destroyed, it can no longer be built for thousands of crores taka.

Secretary General of Nagarik Samaj Chattogram Ibrahim Hossain Chowdhury Babul presided over the function.  Leaders of Awami League's metropolitan, northern and southern districts addressed the Iftar gathering.

South District Awami League General Secretary Mofizur Rahman, Bir Muktijoddha Dr. Mahfuzur Rahman, Bir Muktijoddha Md. Eunuch, Professor Masum Chowdhury, SM Kibria, Nagar Awami League Labor Secretary Abdul Ahad, Avritikar Rashed Hasan, Borhanul Hasan Chowdhury Salehin, Yunus Gani, Jasim Uddin, Kazi Mohsin were present at the occasion.
