Noman said the government is committed for development of Chittagong as the commercial capital of the country. But to do that, environment has to be protected.

Mayor Mohiuddin Chowdhury urged politicians to shun politics of criticism. No body should be criticised for the sake of criticism. It has become a traditional in our politics to oppose even government's good work.

Though the budget has not been presented, banners reading criticisms against the budget have already been prepared. "We must change this attitude for the greater interest of the nation", he said.

Mohiuddin recently received the best award for tree plantation in 2002. "My party men criticised me for taking the award from Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia", he said.
