Lt. Gen. Ziaur Rahman carrying a plough
He launched the canal excavation program in 1977 with the objective of promoting rural development and revitalizing agriculture in Bangladesh.
From Deyal (Wall) book of Humayun Ahmed, a prominent writer of Bengali literature –
The shortage of clothing in Bangladesh eased somewhat. Prices of essential commodities did not spiral out of control.
Large quantities of Hilsa began to be caught in the rivers of Bangladesh. After a long time, people in the country began to feel that they had found a head of state who was honest. There was no thought in his mind of looting money for himself or for his relatives. Instead, he was concerned about the country. He wanted to transform the nation by digging canals.
There is not doubt that Zia was an honest man, not merely honest for show, but genuinely so. After his death, it was found that the Zia family had no accumulated wealth.
