Do not want any political activities to Nagar Bhavan from 9 am to 5 pm – Dr. Shahadat Hossain

I want to work as a servant of 7 million people said Chittagong City Mayor Dr. Shahadat Hossain.

He said these things while interacting with journalists in the conference room of the disaster management building on the outskirts of Laldighi on Tuesday (November 5).

Asserting to move forward Chasik who is plagued with various problems, the Mayor said that in today’s organogram of Chittagong City Corporation, where there were supposed to be 3 thousand to 4 thousand officers and employees, it has become about 8 to 9 thousand. As I take charge today, my Chief Executive Officer says that I am taking charge with a deficit debt burden of around Rs 440 crore. I have to work through many challenges.

Mayor said Bangladesh will survive only if Chittagong survives. This Chittagong is not only mine alone; This Chittagong belongs to us. I will start my activities with this slogan.
Dr. Shahadat Hossain said, I am a politician but politics is outside the City Corporation. I want to tell many of my leaders and workers here that you do not disturb me during work. I will do politics with you after 5 pm. Don’t come to me from 9 to 5 discussing any kind of political activity. I am making it clear.

If we get the holding tax properly, inshallah, there will be no problem to pay the salary to Chittagong City Corporation, but we are not getting that holding tax either. Many have increased the holding tax for various reasons. Many people are paying 30-40 percent tax without getting a solution when citizens appeal. In the middle, a group went there and took some money to reduce it and earned money here and there. You will not drive the City Corporation into financial bankruptcy. This issue must be resolved.

Stating that the health department of Ccorp. will be revamped, the mayor said, “I used to see that many patients used to come to Memon Hospital for child and maternal facilities. It was number one in Chittagong. I want to take Memon Hospital to that number one place. The Mayor said about the education program, you know that Premier University is done with the money of Chittagong City Corporation. Today it is occupied.   Inshallah I will save this educational institution. I will do what I promise you.
