Landless rally in northern Bangladesh

On the 25th of January 2010 the BKF & BKS local committee organized a rally in Bhurungamari sub-district of northern Kurigram district. BKF president Badrul Alam was the chief guest of that landless rally. Landless peasants are trying to build up a strong movement to occupy a big water-body in Sonarhat area in that sub-district. In this sub-district BKF and BKS members occupied railway abandoned land at 16th of December 2004 and almost 3000 landless families are living there as a result of that occupation. They estimate that about 5000 families would benefit if they are able to occupy the water-body.
