Demolish structures on Mayur river: HC to govt
The High Court yesterday directed the government to remove all illegal structures built on land of Mayur River in Khulna in two months.
Authorities have been asked to demolish the structures after conducting a survey, and submit a report by April 6.
The bench of Justice Gobinda Chandra Tagore and Justice Mohammad Ullah came up with the order while hearing a writ petition filed by Human Rights and Peace for Bangladesh (HRPB) in 2016.
HRPB lawyer Manzill Murshid said authorities demolished structures including a park established by Khulna City Corporation (KCC) as per an earlier order.
Some other illegal structures built in the riverland were recently found in a video submitted by KCC, he added.
