Planned urbanisation: PM for master plan in each UZ

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday stressed the need for undertaking a master plan in each upazila (UZ) to ensure planned urbanisation and thus render better services to people. “My directives are already there to render much better services to people through ensuring arable lands, schools, colleges in the upazilas alongside industries, mills and factories,” she said. The Prime Minister was addressing the officials of the LGRD Ministry during her visit to the ministry at the Bangladesh Secretariat in Dhaka on Thursday  morning. She also focused on strengthening the local government institutions through decentralisation and directed the local government bodies to take necessary steps to boost their income to provide people with better amenities, according to a news agency.
