Atiqul Islam, the mayor of the organization, has announced the plan to build a smart slaughterhouse in Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) for slaughtering animals in a hygienic environment.
He said, there is a desire to have a smart slaughterhouse. I will soon take steps to implement it. There is also a desire to build a tree and animal hospital at Gabtali.
On Monday (May 13), he said this at a press conference on the completion of four years of assuming office as mayor in the hall room of the main office of Nagar Bhaban at Gulshan-2 in the capital.
Announcing that DNCC is working throughout the year to prevent dengue, the mayor said, this year, we are conducting a month-long public awareness campaign in 54 wards before monsoon. I have allocated 50 thousand taka per month to each ward councilor to increase awareness. I took initiative last year to bring in BTI (Aedes Mosquito Source Destroying Insecticide) and took legal action against the contractor including blacklisting him for resorting to fraud.
He said, we have taken the initiative of direct import ourselves as a challenge without stopping the issue of bringing BTI. Cabinet approved. I can bring BTI soon. For the first time, I am buying abandoned materials that can breed Aedes larvae for cash. Bringing state-of-the-art machine Buffalo Turbine for effective spraying of medicine is in process. Along with awareness activities, campaigns are also ongoing.
DNCC Mayor said, we have increased the range of online based smart services. Holding tax, trade license are being done online. Cashless transactions have been arranged in Gulshan 1 and Taltala Market. Smart parking has been launched. By launching AI (Artificial Intelligence) based digital traffic signals at Gulshan-2, we have proved that DNCC is capable of implementing digital traffic signals. We have taken the initiative to launch AI based traffic signals at 6 more places. I am giving importance to increase the range of online services in order to simplify the service.
He said, I announced to plant two lakh trees in two years to protect the environment of the city. Last year 90 thousand trees were planted. We are hiring 47 gardeners with emphasis on plantation. I have taken two supervisors. Another one and a half lakh trees will be planted this year.
