FE REPORT

The Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) authority distributed around 2,500 raincoats among its cleaners to ensure uninterrupted sanitation services during the monsoon season.

The raincoats were handed over at a programme at Gulshan Nagar Bhaban in the capital on Monday. DNCC Administrator Md Shafiqul Islam Khan was the chief guest.

He said the raincoats were distributed to the cleaning workers, who work tirelessly to keep the city clean and enable residents to enjoy a hygienic environment.

During the Eid-ul-Fitr, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman arranged a special bonus for the cleaners in recognition of their contribution.

"We have a responsibility towards you (cleaners) and remain committed to your welfare. You will continue doing your work with dedication, and we will provide all necessary support. We will consider ourselves successful only when city dwellers are satisfied with your work," he added.

Speakers at the programme said a clean and livable Dhaka requires collective effort, and emphasised the need to ensure safety for sanitation workers alongside raising awareness among the city residents.
