City Desk :

Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) Mayor Barrister Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh said on Wednesday that the elimination of corruption, strict enforcement of the law, and ensuring speedy justice for the implementation of the law are the three key components of building a livable and safer city.

If these three elements are secured in a society, then the other components to build a livable and safer city will be added automatically, he said while speaking at a programme organised by Urban Development Journalist Forum Bangladesh (UDJFB) at the CIRDAP auditorium in the city on Wednesday, reports UNB.

The DSCC mayor further said that the huge flow of people towards Dhaka should be stopped. Otherwise, whatever plan is taken for this city, it will not be fruitful.
