UNB, Dhaka :
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday directed the deputy commissioners (DCs) to discharge their lawful responsibilities to protect public interests rising above fear and allurement.
“The main responsibility of DCs is to ensure the security of public life and property, and ensure their unhindered movements,” she told the inaugural session of a three-day Deputy Commissioners’ Conference 2015 at her office.
Terming the deputy commissioners as the bridge between the field-level administration and the central administration, the Prime Minister said they could perform their duties best when they remain strict to the truth and justice.
She also asked them to deeply focus on issues like ensuring public services for common people without harassment, preventing women and child repression and trafficking, child marriage, eve-teasing and misuse of drugs, development of rural infrastructures, flourishing potential small and medium scale industries, helping flourish the ICT, working with public representatives at the grassroots level for building good governance, preventing dropout in educational institutions,
ensuring agri-input supply, protecting the environment, rooting out militancy and terrorism, and preserving forests, rivers, lakes, and livestock.
The Prime Minister instructed the DCs to adopt newer ways of work shedding the old mindset and thus help the country achieve its desired middle-income status by 2021.
“Though the district administration was established during the colonial period, everything now has changed by the time, we’ll have to run the country, develop and advance it as an independent country, this is our main focus, we’ll have to step forward changing all the old perceptions,” she said.
Hasina said, the DCs must not confine themselves to their day-to-day routine works as they will have to think what new development programmes they could take for their respective districts so that those could contribute to the development of their areas.
“You (DCs) must look for newer ways, techniques and of course take good care of the development programmes,” she said. Hasina said her government main aim is to build a hunger- and poverty-free and happy and prosperous Bangladesh. “To attain that goal you must come out of old mindset of being only government officials. You’ll have to devote more to the service of the nation,” she said.
