Rupna Chakma, the goalie for Bangladesh Women’s Football team, will soon have a new home, thanks to orders from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Rangamati Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Mizanur Rahman confirmed the information, “The Prime Minister’s Office has given instructions to build Rupana Chakma’s home as soon as possible.
We immediately dispatched an LGED engineer and Naniachar Upazila Nirbahi officer to the location. Construction on the house has begun as of today.”
At the same time, the work on constructing the bridge leading to her house will also start, said the DC.
At Dashrath Stadium in Nepal, Rupna Chakma defended the goal post for the Bangladesh squad with unwavering tenacity, assisting them in winning the SAAF Women’s Football Tournament without a loss.
In contrast to her glorious performance, the dilapidated condition of her house in the remote Bhuiadam village of Naniyarachar upazila tells how far she have come through the path of struggle.
After the Bangladesh team won the championship, the Rangamati DC went to her house with a group of government officials and journalists and handed over a cheque of Tk1.5 lakh to her family on Tuesday.
