Road Transport and Bridges Adviser Fouzul Kabir Khan on Saturday said the government will prioritise addressing the needs of people through direct engagement instead of the practice of making plans solely from Dhaka.
"From now on the interim government will not make any plans sitting in Dhaka. We will do what the people want by talking to them," he said while speaking to reporters in front of the administrative building of Itna Upazila Parishad in Kishoreganj.
The adviser assured that the government is actively working to resolve issues arising from the construction of the all-weather road in the Haor region of Kishoreganj.
He said connecting Haor upazilas with the Kishoreganj district on one side and Sylhet on the other would be treated as a priority.
Earlier in the day, Fouzul Kabir Khan travelled to Itna Upazila via road from Kishoreganj and participated in a view-exchange meeting at the Itna Upazila administration hall.
The meeting brought together freedom fighters, local political leaders, government officials, teachers, journalists and members of civil society.
During his journey, the adviser inspected the Itna-Mithamain-Ashtagram all-weather road.
Roads and Bridges Department Secretary Ehsanul Haque, Kishoreganj Deputy Commissioner Fouzia Khan, Superintendent of Police Mohammad Hasan Chowdhury and other officials accompanied the adviser.
