In Chattogram, the weekly public hearing led by Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Zahidul Islam Miah has evolved into a trusted platform for citizens seeking assistance. Held every Wednesday, the event allows residents from across the district to present grievances and requests directly to the DC, who often provides immediate financial or material support. During the latest session, 74 applicants were heard, with nine ill individuals and one student receiving cash aid, while 48 impoverished men and women were given relief packages containing essential food items.

The hearing featured several cases of vulnerable individuals, including single mothers, patients with chronic illnesses, and families in financial distress. The DC personally responded to each case, offering direct help and instructing officials for prompt action. Applicants expressed satisfaction with the compassionate and responsive approach, saying it has built public confidence in the administration.

According to district officials, the initiative has grown beyond a routine administrative process into a humanitarian effort that reflects the district administration’s commitment to citizen welfare and responsive governance.
