Negligence of duty won’t be tolerated: Taposh
Issuing a warning note, Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) Mayor Barrister Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh on Sunday said any kind of negligence and inaction of duty officials under DSCC won’t be tolerated.
The Mayor came up with the warning while inaugurating the cleanliness drive at Battola Jhil in city’s Khilgaon area.
“Any deviation to the newly adopted work plan or any sorts of negligence and inaction of duty of the DSCC officials won’t be tolerated as I am eager to relieve the city dwellers from these panic. If any respected citizens of DSCC would find any fault to the reshuffled tasks of DSCC staff, just let me know. I am assuring you that I’ll take stern action against this inadvertence”, he said.
Mosquito menace, waterlogging, inefficiency in garbage collection and some other burning issues remained unresolved due to the lack of effective coordination among the inter-connected departments of DSCC. People are losing their faith in DSCC, Taposh said. "So, I instructed the associated departments to reorganise the work plan. Under the new work plan, we are implementing new working roster and following it, a ‘Year-round Integrated Mosquito Control’ programme.”
