Implement govt plans properly
President asks DCs
President Zillur Rahman yesterday directed the deputy commissioners (DCs) to contribute properly to implementing the plans undertaken by the government to turn Bangladesh into a middle-income country within 2021.
He gave the directive while addressing the conference of the DCs at Bangabhaban in the city. Cabinet Secretary M Abdul Aziz also spoke at the conference.
Zillur said the main objective of the War of Liberation was to build a happy, prosperous and dignified country. “We achieved independence of our country through sacrifices of many lives four decades ago under the leadership of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman”, he added.
But, he regretted, this goal of the war is yet to be achieved even after four decades.
He said, “We can turn Bangladesh into a happy and prosperous country within few years, if we work with patriotism, honesty and sincerity.”
He said the main aim of the government is to improve the living standard of the people.
In this context, the president directed the DCs to find out ways and means for ensuring development in the districts, upazilas, unions and villages after studying them properly.
Zillur urged the DCs to give more importance to the development programmes than giving VIP protocol and holding seminars and symposiums to accelerate the pace of socio-economic progress of the country.
He said peaceful environment is needed to enable the people to contribute to the development activities of the country. He said the DCs should play a major role in maintaining this environment.
He hoped that the opportunity to exchange opinions with the policymakers through such conference will benefit the DCs in discharging their duties efficiently.
