During a visit to Ward No. 31 of Sylhet metropolitan city, Sylhet City Corporation-SCC Administrator Abdul Qayyum Chowdhury called for citizens’ cooperation in urban development.
On Thursday (April 23), while inspecting the Muradnagar area of the ward, he directly observed the current condition of various roads, drainage systems and infrastructural development works in the area.
During the visit, the SCC Administrator exchanged views with local residents and listened to their civic concerns. Residents raised various issues, including road repairs, improvement of the drainage system and waterlogging.
The administrator listened to these problems attentively and assured that they would be resolved promptly on a priority basis.
Seeking everyone’s cooperation for the overall development of the city, Abdul Qayyum Chowdhury said, “We are working to build a livable, modern and clean city.

He also instructed the concerned officials to maintain quality standards and complete development works within the stipulated time. At the same time, he emphasized regular monitoring of ongoing projects.
