Nation set to welcome New Year 2023

BSS: The nation bids adieu to the outgoing year 2022 forgetting all odds and sorrows of the past and welcome 2023 with new hopes at midnight tonight through different programmes along with the global community.

Jubilant people, particularly the youngsters, will join different New Year programmes when the clock strikes 12 midnight. 

In separate messages, President M Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina greeted the countrymen on the eve of New Year 2023.

On this special occasion, people have already conveyed their best wishes to their friends and beloved ones through different messaging applications and social media platforms.

Usually the New Year's Eve comes as an occasion for huge celebration across the globe, bidding farewell to the outgoing year 2022. 

As 2022 draws to a close, Tonga, Kiribati and Samoa- tiny Pacific island nations- are the first to ring in a new Calendar year.

Corporate and government officials and various organisations also did the same thing as they do every year to greet their nearest ones.

The day is also a moment of looking back to the outgoing year for reviewing the successes and failures and planning strategies to reach new goals for the New Year, with accomplishing the unfinished tasks those need to be done in the coming days.

The year 2022 was a significant year for Bangladesh as the country saw many successes in major areas, including infrastructure development, economy, agriculture and driving the IT sectors towards attaining the middle-income status. 

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the much-expected the Padma Bridge on June 25, 2022 connecting the capital with the 21 south and southwestern districts.

On December 28 in 2022, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina opened the country's first ever elevated metro rail, setting another milestone in the country's communication history.

She opened the 11.73 km part of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Line-6 of the metro rail project from Diabari to Agargaon by unveiling its plaque in the city’s Diabari.
