Every resident of Dhaka should play the role of mayor to make the city a liveable and healthy place, the mayor of Dhaka South City Corporation Sayeed Khokon has said.
“Only one mayor or some other officials cannot make the city a liveable place. Individual roles should be played to keep the city as clean as everyone's home,” he said while taking part in a cleaning campaign organised by City Development Journalist Forum.
Addressing crowds in the capital's Banga Bazar area, the mayor said: “Every person should keep a clean mind and ideology for cleanness. It is impossible to keep the city clean without the efforts of the city dwellers.”
“I will take care of the city's streets and also wash away the dusts of the city,” Khokon added.
He also urged every citizen to take part in a symbolic cleaning campaign scheduled for February 14.
Among others, City Development Journalist Forum president Omar Faruk and Secretary Amitosh Paul participated in the cleaning campaign.
