Prime Minister Tarique Rahman today (31 July) personally drove through different roads under the Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) to inspect the city’s cleanliness, as part of his government’s efforts to improve waste management and transform Dhaka into 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,” his Deputy Press Secretary Jahidul Islam Rony said.
The prime minister left his Gulshan residence at 4:05pm and drove through Shyamoli, Bijoy Sarani, Rokeya Sarani, Mirpur-10, Kachukhet and Shewrapara, among other areas.
He spent more than two and a half hours inspecting the roads before returning to his Gulshan residence around Maghrib, Rony said.
He also said that the prime minister has repeatedly expressed his desire to see Dhaka become a cleaner city, which is why he decided to inspect the situation himself.
“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 added.
State Minister for Local Government Shahe Alam, DNCC Administrator Safiqul Islam Milton, BNP Special Secretary Belayet Hossain, Private Secretary Mehedul Islam and Assistant Private Secretary Abdur Rahman Sani accompanied the prime minister during the inspection.
