Chittagong City Corporation's yearlong development work on Port Connecting Road (PC road) is taking its toll on Dhaka Trunk Road (DT road), another major route used by the commuters, leading to its miserable state.
The Chittagong City Corporation took Tk 10,000 each from 33 families of a landslide-prone slum five years ago promising to relocate them to an apartment building.

Leader of the Opposition in Parliament Raushan Ershad terms the recently held Dhaka and Chittagong city elections “fair” tas no killing took place during the race.

Newly elected mayors and councillors of three city corporations in Dhaka and Chittagong will be sworn-in on Wednesday morning.
Though not happy with the irregularities and vote rigging during the just held city corporation elections, commoners in Dhaka city want to see their city clean, free of traffic-jam and developed.
