BIWTA’s Buriganga drive: 51 illegal establishments evicted
Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) has evicted 51 illegal establishments from the bank of Buriganga river in Dhaka's Swari Ghat and Mitford Balur Ghat areas today.
During the drive, BIWTA officials recovered one acre of government land. BIWTA's Executive Magistrate Mahbub Jamil led the drive while members of river police and Ansar assisted him.
Jamil said that the first phase of the eviction drive was conducted in January last year in this area but illegal encroachers occupied the land again.
BIWTA has been conducting a re-eviction drive for the last two days to free the Buriganga river bank.
