Pvt ICD problem for Port City

block
Chattogram Bureau :
Private container depots or yards become throat nail in the port city , said Khorshed Alam Sujan, the outgoing CCC administrator. He made the remarks while exchanging views with media persons at Seniors Club in the port city yesterday morning .
Sujan said a dynamic city is needed for a productive port. CCC will have to pay 1 percent service charge from Port fund . Then CCC’s income will be 700- 800 cr taka per annum. CCC will have to pay 1 percent from the revenue of the custom house. If Chattogram is developed, the whole country will be developed.
I will clean the dirt of EPZ and make arrangements for the workers to come and go. You need to get a trade license. Each factory can pay to CCC with 2,000 Sujan said he is ready for political, state and social work. Many times I wanted to be nominated as a Member of Parliament and Mayor. I have tried to give as much as I can within six months. City Corporation is nothing new to me.
I was close with ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury for 18 years. I had the experience of seeing him. My biggest challenge was PC Road, which was inside the canal. There was no shortage of money here. Two contractors were incompetent, one of whom was GK Shamim’s partner. I brought it from Cumilla.
I said, you can’t come back without finishing work. I have seen the suffering of the people, the miserable condition. I have completed the eastern part of the road. I fought for six months. I have received the love of many in the area, I have heard the insults of many. I will always remember the cooperation of the media. The work on the strand road is 40 percent completed.
The work was slowed down as the contractor died in Corona. Hopefully it will be useful to use by March if CCC supervises. CCC’s property is public property.
Workers do not come to the office even at 12 o’clock in the day. I closed the gate at 9:15 for three days. CCC lacks skilled manpower. There are no rules for recruitment. Skilled manpower is a great asset of CCC. The conservancy department have additional manpower.
Not always at work, there is attendance. Some beggars were given such jobs by former mayor Manzoor Alam during international cricket tourney in Chattogram . The cost of fuel and gas is three and a half crore taka.
People have responded to my call to raise taxes, I am grateful. I made an appeal board for holding tax. I said take what you want to give. If we could bring in holding tax automation, we could collect more.
 The people of the city do not want to stand in line. I have transferred and audited many tax officials. Taxes, trade license fees were collected but not deposited in proper fund or ledger book of revenue.
