Planning Adviser Wahid Uddin Mahmud spoke at a government meeting on Saturday. He told officials that holding free elections remains their top priority. The adviser said reforms will help citizens participate directly and make elections acceptable worldwide. Large development projects cannot move forward because the government focuses on election preparations. Officials approve only projects that can finish quickly and essential ones for the nation.
The meeting took place at a circuit house with service providers and development agencies from Chattogram division. Additional Divisional Commissioner Sharmin Jahan led the session. City Mayor Dr. Shahadat Hossain attended along with senior officials from various departments. Representatives from City Corporation, CDA, WASA, Water Development Board, LGED, Roads and Highways Department, Public Works Department, and Power Development Board presented updates. Each organization shared progress reports about their current work.
Mahmud pointed out several city problems that need attention. Water logging affects many areas during heavy rains. Sewage systems face serious difficulties across the region. Blocked canals and drains create additional flooding issues. Poor cleanliness standards harm public health. Hill cutting and landslides threaten resident safety. Unplanned city growth makes these problems worse. Mayor Hossain discussed working with different service departments to address these challenges.
