DHAKA, Jan 17, 2021 (BSS) – Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Minister Md Tajul Islam today said the municipal councils must focus on increasing income or face dissolution as the government plans to change the law to this end.
“City corporations and Paurashava follow their own laws. They must take responsibility for generating and increasing their revenue as per their laws. If they fail to pay the salary of their staff for 12 months, we are planning for their dissolution,” he said.
“This is not believable that the inhabitants of paurashava cannot pay tax,” Tajul said while addressing a National Policy Dialogue on ‘Strengthening the Urban Local Governments in Bangladesh’ at a city hotel here, a UNDP release said.

One of the best things about investing in a luxurious Caribbean holiday with Sandals is that all of the extras you could wish for are included as standard. It s a comprehensive holiday that means you know exactly what you re getting before you even arrive, letting you plan to do as much or as little as you like in advance.
As well as a range of accommodation from guest rooms to plush suites, your holiday with Sandals includes all food, drinks - yes, even premium alcoholic spirits round the clock - activities such as scuba diving (two dives per day), water sports, golf (excluding resorts in Antigua, Barbados and Grenada), gym and spa access, sports such as tennis and beach volleyball, and evening entertainment.
