Independent candidate Dr. Tasnim Jara unveiled a six-point manifesto aimed at resolving long-standing issues in Dhaka-9, including gas shortages, waterlogging, healthcare, safety, education, and employment. She presented her plan on Saturday at an event organized by the Assistant Returning Officer’s office at Khilgaon Model College. Jara emphasized that residents of Dhaka-9 pay equal taxes as those in affluent areas but receive inferior services, vowing to end this disparity.
Her manifesto includes legislative efforts for a 'no service, no bill' policy, subsidized LPG supply, and strict oversight of WASA and city corporations to prevent waterlogging. She pledged to modernize Mugda Medical College Hospital, form a year-round dengue taskforce, and ensure women-friendly healthcare. On safety, she promised CCTV-equipped “safe corridors” and action against drug syndicates. Education reforms include eliminating MP quotas in school admissions and promoting science and coding education. She also proposed a 'Startup Dhaka-9' fund for youth, community daycare centers, and an open digital dashboard for citizen complaints.
Jara vowed to open a permanent constituency office within a month of election if elected, ensuring direct public access without intermediaries.
