Prime Minister Tarique Rahman on Friday personally drove through different roads under the Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) to inspect the city's cleanliness, as part of his government's efforts to improve waste management and transform Dhaka into a cleaner capital.
"The Prime Minister personally drove through different roads in the northern part of the capital to see the cleanliness situation on the ground," said his Deputy Press Secretary Jahidul Islam Rony said.
He said the Prime Minister left his Gulshan residence at 4:05pm and drove the vehicle himself.
During the inspection, he passed through Shyamoli, Bijoy Sarani, Rokeya Sarani, Mirpur-10, Kachukhet and Shewrapara, among other roads.
The Prime Minister spent more than two and a half hours touring the roads before returning to his Gulshan residence around Maghrib prayers, Rony said.
