President M Abdul Hamid asked the Deputy Commissioners (DCs) to remain watchful to prevent abuse of power while discharging their respective duties as the district co-coordinator and supervisor of the multi-faceted activities of the government, reports BSS.
"Keep away from corruption... Monitor strictly so that others cannot get the opportunity to indulge in corruption," the President told the DCs as they gathered at the Bangabhaban in the evening on the third day of the 'DC Conference-2023' on Thursday.
He said sustainable development is being hindered due to corruption and the system of transparency and accountability must develop at every level of the field administration.
The Head of the State said, "I hope you (DCs) will consciously maintain the distinction of responsibility and power in the workplace."
He also instructed the DCs to use their talent and skills in public welfare by upholding human rights at all levels.
Abdul Hamid called upon the DCs to carry out their responsibilities with more devotion for delivering government services at the people’s doorsteps as ‘steersmen and servants’ of the district administration.
He also thanked the DCs for playing a responsible role in implementing various financial and incentive package programmes of the government during and after the Covid-19 pandemic.
President Hamid asked the DCs to be more active in the implementation of the government's ongoing programs for biodiversity conservation, flood control and drainage, wetland development and natural disaster risk reduction due to climate change impacts in disaster-prone Bangladesh.
