Stop mismanagement, unplanned projects
Demanding swift and proper implementation of regional development works under Khulna Development Authority (KDA), a stop to unplanned projects and mismanagement in name of their implementation, a sit-in programme was held in front of KDA office in the city yesterday.
Leaders and members of Greater Khulna Development Sangram Coordinating Committee organised the event from 11am to noon.
Speakers said unplanned housing projects should be stopped and a local representative should be appointed as the KDA chairman.
They further said to stop irregularities and corruption, projects such as work on Rupsha Bypass Shipyard Road, Nirala Road, Gallamari to Rayermahal Road and Aranghata to Rayermahal should start immediately.
They alleged that the residential and commercial areas set up by KDA have been built unplanned. KDA constructed commercial plots on both sides of MA Bari Avenue Road and Muzgunni highway but no connecting roads have been constructed for people of the vast area behind it, they added.
Speakers also highlighted that Daulatpur KDA Kalpataru Market remained unopened and have become a grazing field for cattle while condition of Rupsha KDA Market has become dilapidated. Sheikh Ashraf Uz Zaman, president of the platform, alleged that KDA does not coordinate with Khulna City Corporation. The lack of coordination is hindering Khulna's development. "We don't want unplanned development," he added.
Despite repeated attempts, this correspondent could not get in touch with the KDA chairman for comments.
