Speaking at the CCC 'Pie Festival' at Laldighi Park in the city on Monday, Khorshed Alam Sujan said, "My farewell day is the last time. I do not know why the leader (Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina) gave me the responsibility for six months. I have tried my best to serve the people of the city with all my abilities and skills. Tried to give the gift of a developed, livable and humane city. I don't know how successful I have been done.
Sujan said, "Dear city dweller, if you are satisfied with my work, please bless me." And if I hurt anyone, I apologize to you for the tax. The administration has had to go through a lot of hardships. Please forgive me. Believe me, I swear by life, I am honest, I don't want to be dishonest. I have tried my best to serve you.
Addressing the newly elected Mayor Rezaul Karim, he said, “I hope he will build this city as a humane city that is livable, clean and healthy.”
