Manjur goes to house of Mohiuddin
Wishes to make ex-mayor his adviser
Mayor-elect of Chittagong City Corporation Manjur Alam visited his predecessor ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury yesterday morning and expressed his wish to make him his adviser.
Mohiuddin received him when Manjur arrived at his Chasma Hill home around 10:20am. During the 50-minute meeting, Manjur sought cooperation of the former CCC mayor in development work of the port city.
Manjur told reporters after the meeting that Mohiuddin assured his all out support. Manjur said he has intention to make Mohiuddin his adviser for CCC activities.
"He is like my elder brother and my respect for him is eternal. I worked with him closely for a long time. He was CCC mayor for 17 years and has huge experience which I need most," said Manjur.
"Earlier, I sought his [Mohiuddin's] support through the media and I came here myself today to seek his cooperation," said Manjur.
"We discussed a lot about the future plans and development work of the corporation," he added.
Mohiuddin, however, did not appear before journalists. His son Chowdhury Mohibul Hasan Nouphel said the two leaders shared experience and exchanged views on development projects of the CCC.
