Dhaka: Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Administrator Mohammad Azaz today emphasized that active participation and collective efforts are essential to building an equitable and livable city. “We will be able to build an equitable, inclusive and habitable city if all citizens, irrespective of political affiliations, work together,” he said while distributing prizes among the winners of the ‘Run for Fair City’ marathon in the city’s Agargaon area as the chief guest.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the marathon was jointly organized by the non-government organization ‘Brighters’ and the DNCC, attracting over 500 youths. The event aimed to spread messages promoting an equitable, humanitarian, and environment-friendly city among the youth.
