World Habitat Day today


The World Habitat Day will be observed in the country today as elsewhere around the globe, with the slogan -- 'Millennium Development Goals and the City'.

The day aims to reduce the number of people deprived of pure drinking water by half by 2015 and ensure significant improvement in the socio-economic conditions of 10 crore slum dwellers by 2020.

President Dr Iajuddin Ahmed and Prime Minister Khaleda Zia have issued separate messages on the occasion.
