Acting Chief Cleaning Officer of CCC Abul Hashem was with him at that time. He discussed with the workers of the cleaning department about how to keep the city clean and gave necessary instructions.
CCC Chief Executive Officer Sheikh Muhammad Tauhidul Islam said “we could not work with full force in the last few days. Almost 10,000 tonnes of garbage have piled up in the city due to that.

Only our manpower was intact. We are working with the workable equipments that we have now.”
He said “we hope that we will be able to clean the city in a few days. We are supervising at field level to fully provide the civic services given by CCC. A meeting was held with the department chiefs of CCC and instruction was given for the presence of CCC officers and staffs and to ensure the fulfillment of their responsibilities. Moreover, measures are being taken to accelerate their activities.”
