Newly appointed administrator of Khulna City Corporation (KCC), Nazrul Islam Manju, has pledged to transform the institution into a corruption-free and citizen-friendly organization. Speaking after formally taking charge on Sunday afternoon, he said KCC would become a one hundred percent corruption-free body. He promised to work closely with residents to understand their problems and ensure equal civic services for all, without bias or hostility.

Manju stated that Prime Minister Tarique Rahman had expressed a desire to reshape Khulna and entrusted him with that responsibility. He vowed to perform his duties with honesty and dedication, rejecting any form of commission trading in development projects. The new administrator emphasized transparency, accountability, and sustainable development as his guiding principles.

Before assuming office, Khulna Divisional Commissioner Mokhter Ahmed, an additional secretary, formally handed over the administrative responsibilities to him. Manju, a former BNP leader and ex-MP for Khulna-2, was appointed under a government notification issued on February 22 that named administrators for six city corporations across the country.
