PM appeals for public help to keep Bangladesh clean and litter-free

Prime Minister Tarique Rahman today (3 August) sought people’s cooperation in keeping Bangladesh clean and protecting the environment, urging everyone to refrain from littering and dispose of waste responsibly to help build a cleaner and better more liveable country for future generations.

In a video message posted on his verified Facebook page, the Prime Minister said protecting the environment is not solely the government’s responsibility but a shared duty of every citizen.

“If each of us becomes more conscious from today and disposes of our waste in designated places properly instead of throwing it indiscriminately, we can gradually make Bangladesh free of waste and build a beautiful environment,” he said.

Tarique Rahman said Bangladesh belongs to all its people and stressed that if everyone makes even a small contribution, the country would be able to achieve significant progress together.

“I seek your cooperation. Let us all work together to keep our country clean and beautiful. Let each of us do our part to protect and preserve a clean environment that will ensure a healthier, more liveable country for future generations,” he said.

He said environmental cleanliness is an issue that touches people from all walks of life, as everyone is affected by the condition of their surroundings.
