DNCC to launch drive to evict illegal structures on Sept 7

DHAKA, Sept 4, 2020 (BSS) – Issuing a strong warning to illegal occupants, Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) mayor Atiqul Islam today said the DNCC will conduct mobile courts and auction programme from September 7 next aiming to evict illegal structures from its footpaths and streets.

“If construction materials, makeshift and permanent shops or other infrastructures are found on the city footpaths and the streets, those will be sold through instant auction,” he said while speaking at a virtual meeting with the DNCC officials.

The mayor said the mobile courts and auction programme will begin in every zone of the city corporation on September 7 next.

He said the owners of the city ponds must clean up water hyacinth from their water-bodies to destroy mosquito breeding grounds with a view to protecting the city dwellers from mosquito menace.

Besides, Atiqul said, action will be taken against the illegal billboards and advertisements.

DNCC chief executive officer Selim Reza, its secretary Rabindrasri Barua, chief estate officer Mozammel Haque, chief revenue officer Abdul Hamid Miah and regional executive officers joined the meeting.
