KCC administrator urges new BCS officers to earn public trust

Khulna City Corporation (KCC) Administrator Nazrul Islam Manju has urged newly appointed administration cadre officers to prioritise public service and earn people's trust through responsible conduct.

He made the call while speaking at an orientation programme for trainee assistant commissioners of the 45th Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) administration cadre at the Shaheed Altaf Auditorium of Khulna Nagar Bhaban on Monday.

Welcoming the officers, Manju said the city corporation was a service and development-oriented autonomous institution responsible for providing essential services and improving Khulna city.

He identified waste management and maintaining a clean urban environment as among its key responsibilities.

He said KCC was working to reduce waterlogging, build a clean and green city, and ensure quality services based on residents' needs.

Addressing the new officers, Manju urged them to move beyond conventional practices while adhering to state laws and regulations.

He said officials should ensure that service recipients could complete their work and return home satisfied.

"Good behaviour is a key condition for effective management. I hope the new officers will earn public trust and affection through their conduct," he said.

The programme was chaired by KCC Chief Executive Officer Rajib Ahmed.

Among others, KCC Secretary Md Reza Rashid, Chief Engineer Mashiuzzaman Khan, Chief Revenue Officer Rahima Sultana Bushra, Budget and Accounts Officer Md Moniruzzaman, and Senior Assistant Commissioner at the Divisional Commissioner's Office Md Abu Saeed addressed the event.

KCC Veterinary Officer Dr Peru Gopal Biswas conducted the programme. A presentation and documentary videos were shown to brief the officers on the corporation's activities.

A total of 38 trainee assistant commissioners from the 45th BCS administration cadre have been assigned to Khulna Division.
