Publish the final list of martyrs in Mirpur area in the anti-fascist movement of 2024 soon. The state should provide permanent assistance to the families of the martyrs. Immediately build Martyrs Monument at Mirpur 10 Roundabout in memory of Martyrs.
2. Solving waterlogging and drainage problems:
When it rained for an hour straight, the Mirpur area was submerged in water. Due to drainage problems, waterlogging occurs when rainwater cannot drain away quickly. So far, no far-reaching plan can be seen to solve this problem. The concerned authorities should immediately take appropriate action in this regard.
3. Control of law and order situation:
Thefts, robberies and robberies have increased in the Mirpur area since the uprising, which has terrified the common man. Stop all terrorist activities. Launch a separate special helpline number in each police station and ensure speedy assistance to consumers.
4. Resolving Gas and Electricity Confusion:
Gas crisis continues for a long time in different areas of Mirpur region. Cooking gas is not available in homes. There is no electricity most of the day. But, at the end of the month gas bill and electricity bill have to be paid. Concerned authorities should take quick measures to solve the problem of gas and electricity.
5. Addressing footpath encroachment, public transport crisis and congestion:
Keep sidewalks free of encroachments and keep roads clear for pedestrians, rehabilitate hawkers. Introduce modern traffic system by removing vehicle control and illegal parking.
There is no end to the suffering of children, women, elderly people, office goers due to the crisis of public transport during office hours, during classes of educational institutions. And the cost of transportation is increasing. City life is often brought to a standstill by heavy traffic. Thousands of working hours of people are wasted in traffic jams. This situation cannot be resolved. Sometimes a 20 minute journey is not even completed in 3 hours.
The leaders of AB party demanded quick resolution of the mentioned problems.
