ফ্রান্স সফরের অনুমোদন পাননি রাজশাহী সিটির প্রশাসক, প্রয়োজনে প্রকৌশলী যেতে পারেন: প্রধানমন্ত্রী

Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has rejected a proposal for Rajshahi City Corporation Administrator Mahfuzur Rahman to visit France for a street lighting technology tour. The Prime Minister emphasized that such trips should only involve relevant technical personnel, as the administrator lacks the engineering background necessary to apply the knowledge gained. He suggested that if expertise is required, the city's electrical engineer should be the one to travel instead. Furthermore, the Prime Minister recommended that the city corporation collaborate with local engineering universities like BUET for future technological innovations. This decision aligns with his recent trend of denying unnecessary foreign trips for officials whose professional roles do not directly benefit from the specific training. Additionally, the Prime Minister has signaled a shift in policy regarding state institutions, favoring the construction of new facilities over renaming existing ones for political purposes.

The decision underscores the government's commitment to fiscal discipline, professional relevance in foreign training, and a shift away from politically motivated renaming of public institutions.
