In this regard, a report by Prothom Alo said that Chattogram City Corporation (CCC) Mayor Rezaul Karim Chowdhury had gone to Finland on November 5 last year on a 10-day visit. Earlier, a delegation of Finnish company Haba Service, which reached Bangladesh, met the Mayor and expressed their interest in investing in waste management in Chattogram city.
According to an office order issued by the Ministry of Local Government, the entire expense of the trip will be borne by Finland's Haba Group. Before and after this, the mayor also visited Japan and South Korea at the expense of organizations from both countries who are interested in doing business here. That was also related to waste management.
Chittagong City Awami League joint general secretary Rezaul Karim Chowdhury took over as mayor of the municipal corporation on February 15, 2021. Three years and three months have passed. But the main problem of the residents of Chittagong Municipal Corporation, waterlogging, has not been solved.
