A meeting was held with journalists from print and electronic media to make Gazipur City Corporation’s citizen services faster, easier and digitalized. The meeting, held at 11 am on Sunday at the conference room of Gazipur City Corporation, was presided over by Gazipur City Corporation Chief Executive Officer Muhammad Sohel Hasan. Chief Executive Officer Muhammad Sohel Hasan and Secretary Md. Amin Al Parvez answered various questions from journalists at the meeting.
Gazipur’s infrastructural development, simplification of information flow, strengthening of citizen services, waste management, road-drainage renovation and ongoing projects were discussed.
In his speech, the Chief Executive Officer said that one of the main problems of the people of Gazipur is the lack of a flyover over the railway. The work on this project, which has been stalled for a long time, is going to start soon. The construction of the flyover will significantly reduce traffic congestion and bring about major changes in the city’s communication system. Regarding waste management, he said that we have taken up a new plan to solve the waste crisis in Gazipur. Various experiments and feasibility studies are underway to bring about modern waste processing, development of dumping systems and qualitative changes in the ward-based collection system. Citizens will get positive results very soon.
Regarding the facilitation of information flow, he said that an official WhatsApp group will be launched for quick and reliable communication with journalists. Development activities, emergency announcements and citizen service updates will be shared immediately. At the meeting, journalists spoke about problems in different areas, drainage problems, road renovation, and reducing suffering. Welcoming the suggestions of the news workers, the CEO said, the development of Gazipur is not only the responsibility of the City Corporation, the media is our important partner. Your cooperation in improving transparency, accountability and quality of citizen services will further strengthen us. Those present expressed the opinion that the meeting opened new doors of trust, coordination, and effective cooperation between journalists and the administration.
