The newly appointed Administrator of the Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC) Dr Dewan Muhammad Humayun Kabir has said that the RCC will resume its services very quickly.
"We will start the service-delivery activities, including waste management, birth-death registration and handing over the nationality certificate, as early as possible," he said this while addressing a press conference in the city on Tuesday.
He said there would be no problem in waste management activities as all the waste removal vehicles and vans remained intact. They are also hopeful about resuming other major civic services.
The city corporation authorities held the press conference at its City Bhaban conference hall explaining its activities in general under the changed situation.
Commissioner of Rajshahi division Dr Humayun Kabir, who assumed office of the RCC on Monday afternoon, told the journalists that resuming the vital work quickly was the top priority, so that the city dwellers did not face troubles.
He said there would be no problem
in waste management activities as
all the waste removal vehicles and
vans remained intact.
Simultaneously, short, medium and long term works will be implemented. "We have already fixed the work plan after consultation with officials concerned," he added.
He made a fervent call for returning back the essential goods, including computers and valuables, looted from the City Bhaban. Otherwise, legal action will be taken against those who will be found guilty in this regard, he warned.
Dr Humayun Kabir also said they will not keep the officials and staff, who will be found engaged in corruption and irregularities as the city corporation is mandated to serve the people transparently.
Replying to a question he said necessary measures were taken to resume the services from the ward councillor offices.
He also said a committee has already been formed to assess the extent of losses in the City Bhaban and the committee has been asked to submit its report within the next seven days.
