On the other hand, the same amount of money has been shown in revenue, development and project expenditure. Mokhlesur Rahman, Deputy Director, Local Government Department, Pabna was the chief guest at the budget announcement ceremony. He said all the residents of the municipality have to pay their taxes on time. Only then will there be development in this municipality. The contractors have to be asked to complete the work of the project within the stipulated time. If not, legal action will have to be taken against them. If the municipality goes after the contractor then the work will not be anything. If the law is enforced properly, the contractor will be behind the municipality. Addressing the mayor, Mokhlesur Rahman said that Chatmohar municipality as a first class municipality is lagging behind in development. Since it's been a year and a half since you took office, do something now and show off. Speaking at the budget announcement, Mayor Sakho said he had taken charge at a critical moment like the Corona epidemic. So the desired development work could not be accelerated. However, he is slowly trying to implement his promised development work. Several roads in the municipal headquarters have already been developed. There is more going on. However, he mentioned that there are some problems, they have been taken into the plan. Will be implemented in the future. The mayor added, “I am not above mistakes. I also do irregularities. If I had not done irregularities, I would have become a god. And I want to be human, not god. There are some people to criticize, they have to, they have to criticize. We will do our job. Efforts will be made to provide better services to the citizens. The government does not give us salary allowance. The salary allowance of all the officers and employees of the municipality has to be paid in the tax money of the citizens. So call on everyone to pay their taxes.
