A nine-member convening committee has been formed for the newly established Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) Debating Club, with MM Jasim serving as convener and Sheikh Md Arif as member secretary.
The announcement was made through a press release issued by DRU General Secretary Mainul Hasan Sohel.
The debating club was established under the auspices of the Dhaka Reporters Unity to foster the intellectual and mental growth of its members and their children.
