Concerned with the national water situation, Ullah presided over the 2011 World Water Day event in Bangladesh, hosting the Health Minister who sought to improve access to safe drinking water.{{cite news | url = http://newagebd.com/newspaper1/feed/sports/12618.txt| title = World Water Day observed | work= New Age | date = 23 March 2011 | access-date = 15 February 2012}}

He predicted that the entry of metals into the food chain through plant uptake might cause health hazards and also environmental problems in 1999.Kuldeep Singh (1999) [http://www.iisc.ernet.in/currsci/dec251999/articles9.htm Biogeochemistry of trace elements] at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University In 2010, Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh saw a large number of deaths among the trees growing in the city according to The Daily Star. Ullah said that the soil problems or air pollution might be responsible for the deaths of the trees, especially if the level of metals such as copper, nickel, lead, cadmium and zinc goes up in the soil, he said. Besides, a rise in sulphuric, nitric, hydrochloric and other types of acid in the air could also cause the leaves of trees to decay, thereby killing them. He pointed out that trees grow under these constraints in industrial areas where air remains highly polluted. Furthermore, he added that the soil used for filling up lowlands for the Bashundhara Housing Project should be analysed to find the reasons behind it.{{cite news | url = https://www.thedailystar.net/news-detail-162274| title = Trees dying in Dhaka, Experts clueless about reasons | newspaper = The Daily Star | author = Helemul Alam | date = 12 November 2010 | access-date = 15 February 2012}}

He was also a freedom fighter in the 1971 Liberation War against Pakistan.{{Citation needed|date=February 2025}}
