Drives against footpath encroachers from Nov 1
The government has decided to evict illegal occupants from footpaths of the streets in the city from November 1 to facilitate the movement of pedestrians as well as to ease traffic jam.
Communications Minister Syed Abul Hossain stated this to reporters after a meeting with Korean EDCF Operation Department Director Tae-soo Kim yesterday afternoon. He said the home ministry has been requested to conduct the eviction drive. The minister sought financial assistance from the Korean government to introduce commuter train service on Dhaka-Narayanganj-Joydevpur-Gazipur-Mymensingh route. The commuter train service will be introduced within next the two years, he added.
He said 300 buses will be also procured under the EDCF loan and an agreement to this effect will be signed in December.
