Structural changes in DCC underway

Saturday, 20 November 2010


Some structural changes in the Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) are underway, Minister for Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Syed Ashraful Islam said Friday.
The LGRD minister said DCC polls would be held after putting into effect those changes through enactment of a new law.
He was talking to newsmen while visiting the construction site of Jatrabari flyover.
UNB adds: Syed Ashraful Islam said the opposition BNP has two ways to pull down the government -- one is to move no-confidence motion in parliament against the government and another is to wait for next elections.
"If no-confidence motion is passed by parliament, the present government won't stay in power for a moment," he said.
Apart from these two legal ways, Ashraf said other means to bring down the government would be unlawful. Since BNP claims to be a democratic party, they should follow the democratic norms in politics.
AL joint general secretary Mahbubul Huq Hanif said they are not worried about the BNP's threat to launch the oust-government movement.
AL senior leader Suranjit Sengupta MP said those thinking of blocking the way of rule of law and justice by hurling bombs are "living in fool's paradise."
