KHULNA, Oct 22, 2025 (BSS) - Speakers at a meeting on Tuesday stressed forming a central disaster management committee and holding regular coordination meetings involving all stakeholders.

The call came during a discussion on the "Climate-Resilient Khulna City (Three-C)" project, jointly implemented by the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) and Khulna City Corporation (KCC), held at the GIZ auditorium in the KCC building.
