Chattogram:Dr. Shahadat Hossain, the Administrator of the Chattogram City Corporation (CCC), has emphasized the importance of nurturing children to think scientifically, creatively, and innovatively, aiming to develop them into environmentally conscious, ethical, and humane individuals.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Dr. Shahadat highlighted the responsibility of the current generation to contribute to building a sustainable city. He stressed that Chattogram needs to become clean, green, healthy, and safe to tackle issues such as waterlogging and dengue, which he attributed to a lack of public awareness.
Dr. Hossain made these remarks at the "Science Fair-2026," where he served as the chief guest at the auditorium of Doha International School in Chattogram. He pointed out that improper disposal of waste materials like plastic and coconut shells clogs drains and canals, leading to waterlogging. This, in turn, provides breeding grounds for Aedes mosquitoes, significant contributors to the spread of dengue.
The CCC Administrator further stated that for a city to be beautiful and sustainable, its citizens must develop a sense of love and responsibility towards it. He remarked that Chattogram is not the sole property of any public representative or administrator but belongs to everyone, and only by embracing the city as their own can its residents make it clean, green, safe, and liveable.
The event was presided over by Hasan Mahmud, the Founder Chairman of Doha International School and Junior School, with Professor Mohammad Shamsul Alam and Dr. Yasir Arafat attending as special guests.
