Road Transport and Bridges Adviser Fouzul Kabir Khan on Saturday said the interim government will prioritise addressing the needs of people through direct engagement instead of the practice of making plans solely from Dhaka.
"From now on the interim government will not make any plans sitting in Dhaka. We will do what the people want by talking to them," he said while speaking to reporters in front of the administrative building of Itna Upazila Parishad.
The adviser assured that the government is actively working to resolve issues arising from the construction of all-weather road in the Haor region of Kishoreganj.
