Relocate the control room
Occupying a big chunk of land of immense value, the police control room at Shahbagh, Dhaka serves no purpose. There is no reason to have a separate police control room in the heart of the city and depriving the city dwellers of a breathing space. Moreover, the police control room is not situated centrally either. The city has expanded far and wide. With modernization and expansion and increase in the number of the police stations in the city, each of these police stations should be developed separately to serve as control room. In case, the police authorities feel the necessity of having a central control room, it should be located elsewhere. Possible sites could be Sher-e-Bangla Nagar or Nilkhet. The entire area presently occupied by the police control room should be vacated and the area developed and beautified under the overall development of Suhrawardy Uddyan. Outside the police control room premises are few shops and billboards. These should be removed immediately to give the landscape a cleaner and greener look. As of now, the entire area looks chaotic and clumsy and needs refurbishing.
The police department would have to be magnanimous in vacating the area, keeping in mind public interest.
