A planned Ctg in mind
Mayor AJM Nasir Uddin yesterday said he has been working to develop Chattogram as a planned and beautiful city.
“I am not fully satisfied yet… I will be when the city will become a developed and planned one,” he said.
Nasir was speaking at a programme titled “Janatar Mukhomukhi” (face to face with people) in the port city, marking completion of his four years in office.
Farjana Akter, a resident of Jamal Khan, said they still face waterlogging. She said when she asked her local councillor about improving the drainage system, he said it was the duty of Chattogram Development Authority as CDA has been implementing a mega project in this regard.
“But when I asked CDA officials, they said it was the duty of CCC,” said Farjana.
Nasir, in reply, said as part of the project, CDA is supposed to expand and develop around 302km drains but the organisation was yet to mark those.
“I wrote to the CDA chairman several times but to no avail,” he said. “If CDA does not make it clear which drains they will expand, how can we proceed with our work?”
Munni Sengupta, a resident of Anderkilla, said it is hard to meet the mayor at his office. She asked Nasir to make the process easier.
The mayor said he is an easily accessible public leader.
In reply to another question, Nasir said he has completed many development works in the last four years. “I won’t say all the works were done in a planned way... We are yet to implement a comprehensive drainage system but our efforts are on.”
Nasir said he introduced door-to-door waste collection for city dwellers. Also, garbage is being collected at night and beautification works have been going on in the city to make the city a clean and green one.
