PM checks city cleanliness

Prime Minister Tarique Rahman on Friday personally drove through several roads under Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) to inspect the city’s cleanliness situation as part of his government’s efforts to improve waste management and build a cleaner capital.

“The Prime Minister personally drove through different roads in the northern part of the capital to see the cleanliness situation on the ground,” said his Deputy Press Secretary Jahidul Islam Rony.

He said the Prime Minister left his Gulshan residence at around 4:05pm and drove the vehicle himself.
The Prime Minister’s vehicle was passing through the Shyamoli area at around 6:10pm, Rony added.

He said Tarique Rahman has repeatedly expressed his desire to transform Dhaka into a clean and liveable city, which prompted the field visit.

“The Prime Minister has repeatedly said he wants to see Dhaka as a clean city. That is why he is personally inspecting the situation,” he said.

The Prime Minister was accompanied by State Minister for Local Government Shahe Alam, DNCC Administrator Shafiqul Islam Milton, BNP Special Secretary Belayet Hossain, Private Secretary Mehedul Islam and Assistant Private Secretary Abdur Rahman Sani.
