No compromise will be made with those carrying out criminal activities and extorting people of Narayanganj, Mayor Dr Selina Hayat Ivy has said.
“I have not come here to reach a compromise with criminals and extortionists. I will compromise with the people regarding their work and not with criminals,” she said after taking charge of office on Sunday.
On Wednesday, Ivy and 36 councillors, including nine councillors of reserved seats, were sworn in.
The ceremony was held at Osmani Memorial Auditorium. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina joined it from her official residence Ganabhaban.
Awami League-nominated Ivy was elected mayor of the NCC for the third consecutive term in the elections held on January 16. She beat her nearest rival Taimur Alam Khandakar by 66,535 votes.
