Rajshahi: Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC) Administrator Mahfuzur Rahman Riton stated that efforts are being made continuously to ensure civic facilities throughout the city. This statement was made during an on-site inspection and discussion with residents in the Bulanpur area, addressing ongoing issues on Friday afternoon.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, residents in the Bulonpur Goalpara area have faced long-term waterlogging due to a lack of adequate drainage systems. During the visit, Riton listened to the residents’ concerns and instructed engineers to address the problems swiftly. He also provided guidance on improving the road on the embankment and enhancing its aesthetics.
Prior to the inspection, Riton attended a meeting organized by the residents of Ward No. 4, where he was the chief guest.

Riton stated his intent to request the Prime Minister to extend these benefits to eligible families in Rajshahi in the upcoming phase.
Riton emphasized his commitment to addressing the residents’ issues, mentioning plans to reorganize the Community Development Committee (CDC) to include those who have been neglected for an extended period.
In a separate visit to Pabnapara in the Naodapara area, Riton expressed solidarity with the landless people and assured his support. He criticized the brief notice given for evicting these individuals from their long-standing homes, calling it unfortunate.
