Chittagong City Corporation is constructing 14-storey 4 buildings for the cleaners. These buildings are being constructed at Sebak Colony in Anderkilla No. 32 and Firingibazar Ward No. 33 of Chittagong city.

Mayor of Chittagong City Corporation AJM Nasir Uddin inaugurated the construction work of these buildings on Tuesday morning. The construction cost has been estimated at around Tk 111 crore.

Each flat in these buildings will be 1435 square feet. It will have 2 bed rooms, living cum dining space, kitchen and washroom. The ground floor of each building will have a school, community center, kid’s zone, shrine, 2 lifts, 400 kv generator, transformer and fire safety equipment.

Mayor AJM Nasir Uddin said the initiative to build livable state-of-the-art housing for clean workers in Chittagong city with the sole desire and encouragement of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is a stepping stone to fulfilling the basic housing rights of the working marginalized people of the society. 

In response to my request to the Prime Minister to realize this right, he cut the allocation of funds and project proposal four times and gave final approval to the marginalized people.    

He said that he had pioneered socio-economic security and the Himalayas had risen to equal heights as a hero of social progress and success. Therefore, Sheikh Hasina is a pillar of economic and social security of marginalized people. 

We have recently recruited about 2,000 cleaners in door-to-door garbage collection to speed up the cleaning work. Priority has been given to the workers of Sebak Colony in this appointment. This cleaner building will be operated as a state-of-the-art accommodation in Chittagong city.

Ward councilors Jahar Lal Hazari and Hasan Murad Bilpab presided over the function. Councilor Shaibal Das Sumon, Alhaj Ismail Bali Reserved Ward Councilor Anjuman Ara Begum, Lutfunnesa Dobhas Baby, Mayor's Private Secretary Mohammad Abul Hashem, Supervising Engineer Monirul Huda, Jhulan Kanti Das, Executive Engineer Mizbaul Alam, Md. Rifatul Alam, Deputy Assistant Engineer Tanjim Bhuiyan, Contractor Ashish Kumar Das, Didarul Alam, Sayem Rizvi, Haji Nasir Ahmed, Haji Mahmudur Rahman Babul, Mohammad Ishaq Miah and other concerned officials were present.
