Dhaka South City Corporation launched an eviction drive at Suhrawardy Udyan yesterday, demolishing hundreds of illegal makeshift shops and structures.
Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) has claimed that 100 percent sacrificial animal waste has been disposed of within approximately 10 hours
This year, the whole of Bangladesh is experiencing unprecedented heat waves. The intense heat has reached a point where opening the windows makes the situation worse instead of bringing in relief in the form of a soothing breeze. Millions around the country, especially the lower middle class, day labourers, farmers, and people who work outside are suffering greatly.
Although Dhaka and Kolkata, two major South Asian cities, are just 240 kilometres apart and share a common history and culture, not many comparative studies on these cities have been undertaken so far.
Life for those who are planning to get married in the southern side of Dhaka city is about to get a little more difficult than it usually is.
Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) has faced criticism from environmentalists after cutting down several hundred trees, including Banyan, Nim, Plum, and other varieties, along the median of Saat Masjid Road
Dhanmondi these days is a cacophony of people, traffic, events, vendors, schools, hospitals, restaurants, and construction sites.
City life comes with rapid change. But for the residents of Dhanmondi what didn’t change for long were the trees and plants on the median of Saat Masjid Road. Bursting with blossoms in spring and summer, the krishnachuras and the radhachuras, among other trees, became a part of their lives.
Do authorities care at all about citizens' quality of life?

The lush greenery of Dhaka is slowly disappearing, and in some instances the perpetrator behind this devastation is none other than the Dhaka South City Corporation.
