A consultation meeting was held on Monday at the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) office in Jamalpur to prepare a Development Project Proposal (DPP) for the physical infrastructure development of eight municipalities in the district.
The meeting was chaired by Jamalpur LGED Executive Engineer Md Ramjan Ali, while Project Director Md Ataur Rahman attended as the chief guest. Engineering officials from the eight municipalities were also present.
The meeting discussed various aspects of the proposed project, focusing on improving existing physical infrastructure, enhancing the quality of civic services and promoting planned urban development.
Participants emphasised the need to prioritise roads, drainage systems and other essential infrastructure in the municipal areas.
Infrastructure development in Jamalpur Municipality was highlighted as particularly important, given its role as one of the district's major urban centres. Improved road connectivity, effective drainage to address waterlogging, modern waste management and expanded civic amenities were identified as key areas requiring attention.
The proposed improvements are expected to enhance residents' quality of life and bring positive changes to urban management.
Participants also shared opinions and recommendations on preparing the DPP in line with the needs, development priorities and existing conditions of the respective municipalities.
The meeting underscored the importance of coordinated planning to ensure sustainable infrastructure development and more efficient delivery of civic services across the eight municipalities.
