The essence of a non-communal Bangladesh would persist hand in hand with the vibrant celebrations of the Bangla New Year, Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) Mayor Barrister Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh said today (14 April). 

"By building a non-communal Bangladesh, the prime minister is advancing this country towards a more developed state," he said in DSCC's New Year celebration programme at the Nagar Bhaban.

"While the rest of the world ushers in the new year at midnight, we are the only nation that greets the new year with the sunrise. Thus, Bangalees show the path of light to the world," said Mayor Taposh.
