Officials of Dhaka North and Dhaka South city corporations were busy over the long weekend at the city corporation headquarters trying to get the files in order before the mayor-elects take office.
Sources said the officials chose to work over the weekend, as well as the public holiday for Buddha Purnima on Sunday, in order to update old files, sort old bills and prepare a summary of the current status of the projects under both the city corporations.
Sources at DNCC said mayor-elect Annisul Huq had already instructed officials to prepare a presentation on the overall operation and the current condition of the organisation.
The frantic activities to get all the work sorted at both the offices is an attempt to get on the good side of the new mayors, sources told the Bangla Tribune.
The city corporation officials – especially those with records of corruption – are reportedly intimidated by the “clean” image of the mayor-elects, and are trying their best to impress them, sources said.
The DNCC headquarters is situated at Fulbaria and the DSCC headquarters is situated in Gulshan Avenue.
