A local NGO activist Samiur Rahman Shamim told the Dhaka Tribune: "Sadullapur Upazila town is a part of Bongram union and yet to become a municipality. Therefore, this problem will not be resolved unless there is a joint effort by the authorities of the: union parishad, Banik Samity (traders union), market management committee, upazila parishad and upazila administration, and many more." Bongram Union Parishad Chairman Md Shahin Sarkar said: "We could not take the initiative to remove the waste due to a lack of financial allocations. If the upazila parishad provided financial allocation, the program could have been continued." Sadullapur Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Rahima Khatun said: "In order to keep Sadullapur city clean, a committee was formed with several government officials and prominent people—including Bongram Union Parishad chairman and Banik Samity president—a few days ago.
