Opposition Leader and Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman met with residents and homeowners’ associations in Mirpur to address the ongoing water crisis in Dhaka-15. The meeting took place on Monday night at a local institution, with representatives from Manipur, Kazipara, Ibrahimpur, and Kafrul attending. Residents described the shortage as so severe that daily life had become nearly impossible, with even drinking and bathing water unavailable. They alleged that an artificial crisis might have been created after the February 12 election for ulterior motives.

Dr. Rahman listened to the grievances and pledged to take all necessary steps to resolve the issue, assuring continued support for the community. He stated that he had already discussed the matter with the Managing Director of WASA and raised it in the National Parliament. According to him, the Prime Minister personally assured that she would play a special role in resolving the problem.

Several central and local Jamaat leaders, along with community representatives from different Mirpur neighborhoods, were present at the meeting.
