DNCC mayor orders road repair by Dec
Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Mayor Annisul Huq yesterday directed its officials concerned to repair all damaged roads by December.
He was addressing a discussion organised by the city corporation at Lakeshore Hotel on law enforcement and traffic management of DNCC areas.
The mayor said drainage problem of posh areas would be solved within the next two years, while it would take three years to solve the problem in Mirpur and other areas.
The traffic department of Dhaka Metropolitan Police blamed damaged roads for traffic congestion in the city.
They suggested making rickshaws off-limits on the roads from Satrasta to Mohakhali, Rampura Bridge to Kuril Biswa Road and Wireless Gate to Gulshan-1 to reduce traffic congestion. Regarding safety of citizens, the mayor said it is also the city corporation's duty to ensure safety of the citizens, alongside law enforcement agencies.
For this reason, a control room would be set up in the city corporation, he said, adding that the room would monitor the city through CCTV.
Annisul said they would start the system from next year.
He said the city corporation would allocate Tk 7 lakh to set up CCTV in Gulshan, Banani, Baridhara and Niketon areas.
