DSCC Mayor Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh yesterday said they will take steps to beautify and revamp the space under Mayor Mohammad Hanif Flyover, as per the demand of city dwellers.

He said this after visiting the sites under the flyover, stretching from Nimtoli to Fulbaria. "We have already appointed a consulting firm."

Regarding the cafe built at Bahadur Shah Park, Taposh said misleading information is being given about this. "The park was occupied. There were drug abusers, vagrants. We have taken initiatives to get rid of these. Visitors can enjoy the scenic surroundings, and a temporary food stall has been installed."

"We will fence the park and install two gates to ensure security," he said.

About relocating chemical go-downs, the mayor said the industries ministry has taken the project, and they were informed that these warehouses will be relocated by December. But they are still there in January.

"I hope they will shift them in February. Warehouses have already been set up in Shyampur, the place of shifting from Old Dhaka. We are pressuring the ministry concerned to shift the warehouses...," he said.
