Ctg mayor vexed at govt role
Chittagong City Corporation (CCC) Mayor ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury yesterday said he will take a strong stand if the government does not allow him to resume his duties as city mayor peacefully.
The CCC mayor, who has been suffering from diabetes and heart ailment, flew to Bangkok yesterday for treatment.
He was not allowed to resume his office after his release from jail on bail. Mohiuddin also castigated the caretaker government for not allowing him to go to Saudi Arabia to perform Omrah.
“I am observing the situation at present,” the mayor told reporters prior to his departure for the Thai capital.
Mohiuddin Chowdhury, also an Awami League leader, forecasts that his party will win all the parliamentary seats in Chittagong if the national elections are held fairly.
The mayor said he has already given instructions to the CCC officials to set up two complaint boxes in the office to receive complaints about irregularities and corruption in the local- government body.
Mohiuddin was arrested at his Chashma Hill residence in the city on March 7, 2007 under an anti-graft campaign by the military-backed interim government. He was released on bail on October 8 from the prisons cell of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) Hospital.
