New Khulna Divisional Society of New Jersey Launched in Atlantic City

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — A new community organization, the Khulna Divisional Society of New Jersey, has been formally launched in Atlantic City to strengthen fraternity, cooperation and mutual support among members of the Khulna Division community living in South Jersey.

Although several district-based organizations are active in South Jersey and Atlantic City, the Khulna Division community had not previously had a dedicated organization of its own. The new initiative was established following a long period of planning and collaborative efforts by senior community members, including Rezaul Islam Khalid, Golam Mostafa, Sheikh Amin, Shahanur Nanna, Altaf Hossain, Md. Hasan, Imtiaz Litu, Tafir and other senior members of the southern Bangladesh community.

The organization began its activities at an event held at Gourmet Restaurant on Atlantic Avenue in Atlantic City at 7 p.m. on September 23. The meeting was chaired by Sheikh Amin, a native of Khulna, while veteran Jessore politician Rezaul Islam Khalid moderated the discussion.

During the meeting, participants emphasized the need for an organization that would promote mutual respect, brotherhood, cooperation and stronger community ties among people from the Khulna Division living in New Jersey. Following the discussion, an ad hoc committee was formed with Sheikh Nasir Khokon as convener and Md. Moniruzzaman as member secretary. Helal Hasan was named joint convener, while Imran Hossain was appointed joint member secretary.

Speakers at the meeting included Md. George, Tanmoy, Oni, Shipul, Imtiaz Litu, Helal Hasan, Imran Hossain, Golam Mostafa, Sheikh Amin, Shahanur Nanna, Altaf Hossain, Moniruzzaman, Sheikh Nasir and Tanmoy, among others. Speakers expressed their support for the new organization and highlighted the importance of maintaining unity, friendship and cooperation among members of the Khulna Division community. The program concluded with remarks from the chair, followed by a dinner for the guests and participants.
