Govt working to improve people’s living standard: PM

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said the aim of her government is to improve the living standards of people and free the country from poverty. “We’re taking Bangladesh to the trajectory of development through reducing poverty... We have always had one goal -- to develop people’s lifestyle, free them from poverty and make the country economically self-reliant,” she said after opening the second Meghna and second Gumti Bridge on Dhaka-Chattogram highway through a videoconference from her official residence Gono Bhaban.
