No place for illegal billboards in city
Dhaka North City Corporation Mayor Atiqul Islam yesterday said they will not allow any illegal billboard in DNCC areas and remove all of those gradually.
Addressing a drive against such billboards near the airport, the mayor said, "Many challenged that I'll not be able to remove illegal billboards and I have accepted their challenges. I'll see who comes forward to intercept our drives."
He said he wants to send a message that business of illegal billboards has to stop.
The billboards contain pictures of powerful people to show their political identities, which is not expected, the mayor said. They can campaign but not by destroying the beauty of the city, he added.
Yesterday, DNCC mobile court knocked and pulled down illegal structures and a giant billboard near the police box by airport crossing.
The drive was led by executive magistrate Motakabbir Ahmed that started at 11am and continued till 4pm.
Among others, ward-49 councillor Md Anisur Rahman Nayeem and councillor from reserved seat Zakia Sultanta were present during the drive.
