Dhaka North City Corporation Mayor Annisul Huq yesterday sought cooperation from the city dwellers to keep the 'world's most densely populated city' clean and green, reports UNB.
“It's not possible for only the mayor and his workforce to maintain cleanliness of Dhaka North city which is the world's most densely populated city," the DNCC Mayor said while inaugurating a cleanliness programme at the Amphitheater of Gulshan Lake Park.
"It needs cooperation and consciousness from the city dwellers," he added. Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between DNCC and Gulshan Society, the responsibility of cleaning 70 internal roads of Gulshan were given to some prominent personalities of Gulshan Society under the first phase of the mayor's 'Adopt a Road' initiative.
A hundred cleaning staff recruited by Gulshan Society will keep those roads clean. DNCC's garbage carrying vehicle will collect roadsides waste from the streets and dump those in the corporation's designated landfill. Praising Gulshan Society's cleaning programme, the DNCC Mayor mentioned that the Society also came forward to set up Closed Circuit Cameras to ensure security of the diplomatic zone.
