A two-day National Haor Conference ended at the Institution of Engineers in Dhaka on Friday, recommending preparation of a Bangladesh Haor Declaration to be placed before the government for the development of haor regions.

The conference also formed a 21-member committee, headed by former finance minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith, also an Awami League leader, to prepare the declaration.

Representatives from Sylhet, Sunamganj, Moulvibazar, Habiganj, Kishoreganj, Brahmanbaria and Netrakona attended the conference.

The conference requested the representatives to send in their opinions to the committee members in three days for the preparation of the guidelines in a week.

The draft guideline will be placed before the government seeking ensuring basic rights of about 20 million people.

Mustafa Jabbar moderated the discussion on the second-day of the conference on Friday. Abul Maal Abdul Muhith was in the chair.
