Splitting DCC into two

The report published in The Daily Star on November 24, 2011 said that State Minister for LGRD and Co-operatives Jahangir Kabir Nanok placed a bill in the Jatiya Sangsad on behalf of the LGRD Minister Syed Ashraful Islam. The bill, if adopted, will cause to dissolve the existing Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) and divide it into two. Eminent citizens, experts and people from all walks of life protested the move and urged the government to refrain from taking such a suicidal step, as it would not help in any way and make the situation very complicated. But the government does not care; it is doing everything for its own interest, forgetting that it is the people who own the country and the government is entrusted to look after the country for a brief period only. If the government does not listen, opposition political parties and people from all over the country should join hands and compel the government to abandon the plan of splitting Dhaka city. We hope the government will come to its senses and save itself from public wrath.
