Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Mayor Md. Atiqul Islam said, we have 11 slums, the Chief Hit Officer told me yesterday – the slum dwellers need to be given comfort at this moment. Slum dwellers are working people. If they can't rest day and night, performance will be lost and their earnings will be hampered.
He said this at the distribution ceremony of umbrellas, water bottles and saline among the rickshaw pullers in the capital's Uttara on Friday (May 3) morning.
Atiq said, 9 cooling zones will be made to provide relief to the slum dwellers in summer. I have asked the Social Development Department to make cooling zones for the slum dwellers at 9 places. Cooling zone will have shade, fan. I can settle the mist here. We are preparing that design.
Highlighting various initiatives of the corporation to give relief to the city dwellers in summer, he said, we are spreading mist in different places from 11 am to 4 pm on behalf of Dhaka North City Corporation. Apart from this, three rickshaw-vans have been given to councilors in each ward; We are providing clean water. We have 10 browsers. We are splashing water in different places with this browser.
At this time, Atiq urged the wealthy to install faucets in front of their homes. He said, everyone can drink water if the tap is installed. He also requested the leaders of shop owner association and business association to provide drinking water.
Telling about the plan to make artificial mist in the parks of the city, Atiq said that he has already talked with the mechanical department. I am making a corner in 21 parks of Dhaka North City Corporation, so that everyone can come and rest.
