Staff Correspondent
It was a good sign reflected in the behaviour of state minister for LGRD Jahangir Kabir Nanok yesterday as he listened to various city problems and gave directives instantly to resolve those issues for ensuring his accountability before the people as a lawmaker.
Such a striking event took place at Suchona Community Centre at the city's Mohammadpur area where the lawmaker replied to various queries on his poll pledges and resolved several local problems instantly and gave assurance of resolving others immediately.
Officials from government's service providers, including WASA, PDB, Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) and local police, at the programme also gave assurance of resolving the problems of the local people like scarcity of water, water logging, grabbing of a playground and extortion.
Several hundred people who joined the programme titled 'lawmaker's accountability before people' highly applauded the state minister's initiative saying they are very happy to raise their problems before the lawmaker.
"Such programme is rare in the country's political culture and it is first of its kind in recent political history," Dr Khaja Nasiruddin, a resident of the area said.
"Mr Minister, you had assured us before the election of taking initiative to build a playground if you win in the poll but about one and a half month have been passed, could you tell us when our children will able to play on the ground," Belayet Hossain Khan, a resident of ward no 42, asked Nanok.
Replying to the above query Ahmed Ali Shah, an executive engineer of DCC, on behalf of the minister said instantly "There is a land in your area which will be made a playground for the children and its work will be started soon after calling a tender within 15 days."
"We are living in an inhuman condition at six Bihari camps where we are facing many problems like bad odor in water and poor sanitation,
please do something for us," Jabbar Khan, a resident of the Bihari camp in the area, made the request before the state minister.
Following the request, the WASA and DCC officials assured of resolving the problems within 20 days after directives from the state minister.
Replying to another query, Officer-in-Charge of Mohammadpur police station assured the people of taking quick action to rescue a local club, grabbed allegedly by some local goons.
Several residents of the area pointed out that they are facing poor drainage system in the area and urged the state minister to resolve this problem.
As per instant directives by Nanok, officials from DCC and WASA assured of taking immediate action to renovate the drainage system.
Adiba Hasan Pushpita, a juvenile girl, who after repeated efforts managed to get Nanok's attention asked him (Nanok) what will he do for the children of the area?
In reply, Nanok said "I have a plan to build a children park, an udyan and a club in Mohammadpur area."
The programme started at 3:00 pm and ended after the evening. The state minister for LGRD also pledged to arrange the same programme in different parts of his constituency in every month.
