Chattogram DC & District Magistrate Farida Khanam said that no sacrificial animal markets will be allowed in any school grounds in the district or city during the upcoming holy Eid-ul-Azha.
She made these remarks while addressing the monthly development coordination meeting of the district development coordination committee and a separate meeting of the district law and order committee held at the conference room of circuit house on Sunday morning.
The activities and progress of 10 government departments/organizations were presented through multimedia in the meeting. Additional District Magistrate (ADM) Syed Mahbubul Haque presented the crime picture of the last month by department through multimedia in the law and order committee meeting.
The Deputy Commissioner said that the government has given priority to coordination-based activities for the overall development of the country. District-based activities are being monitored regularly. As per the government's instructions, we will all work together in a coordinated manner for the overall development of the district. We will ensure our activities with talent, efficiency and honesty by bringing every government department under reform, so that it is satisfactory. For this, everyone's sincere cooperation is needed.
District Civil Surgeon Dr. Jahangir Alam said that the registration of hospitals, labs, diagnostic centers and clinics cannot be updated without an environmental clearance certificate. Many people have complained about not getting the environmental clearance certificate on time even after applying for it before the registration of the institution is updated. It would be better if the institution is sincere in providing environmental clearance after receiving the necessary documents along with the application without any harassment. He said, due to the increase in patients, Chattogram Medical College (CMCH) Hospital and 250-bed General Hospital are struggling to provide medical services. Considering the suffering of general patients, the government has started medical services in the outpatient department of Chittagong Railway Hospital in CRB from May 14. From now on, patients will be able to come here for emergency services from general cardiac problems. He has sought the cooperation of the concerned institutions/departments in completing the renovation work of dilapidated sub-health centers in various upazilas including Boalkhali and Chandanaishah at the earliest.
Additional Superintendent of Police of the District Police, Md. Junayet Kausar said, in view of the holy Eid-ul-Azha, a lot of sacrificial animal markets have started in various upazilas
A lot of animals come here from different places, and animals are also stolen. We have already been able to arrest the main mastermind of the cow theft gang and several members of the gang after conducting several raids, including cattle theft. We must be vigilant to prevent cow theft.
He said, installing counterfeit note detection machines in the cattle markets, the district police will strengthen security in the markets. If the cattle and goat traders carrying large amounts of money want security, we will ensure it. The administration and law enforcement agencies are working hard to ensure overall security on the holy Eid-ul-Fitr - including eliminating traffic congestion on the roads to ensure smooth Eid pilgrimage. Traffic management will be made more timely to maintain order on the roads.
