RAJUK Chairman: DNCC Notified to Remove Sandbags from Footpaths
Engineer Md. Riazul Islam, Chairman of the Capital Development Authority (RAJUK), conducted an inspection of the Hatirjheel area under RAJUK’s jurisdiction. This visit is part of RAJUK’s ongoing efforts to transform Dhaka into a livable city.
During the inspection, the RAJUK Chairman reviewed the regular cleanliness operations in the Hatirjheel area. He instructed concerned officials and sanitation workers to immediately remove scattered waste and debris.
He also observed large piles of sand and sandbags stored along footpaths and walkways adjacent to boundary walls—materials reportedly placed there by Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) for various works. Although DNCC had been previously notified to remove these materials, no action had been taken until now. The RAJUK Chairman reiterated the directive and formally notified the DNCC Administrator and Chief Executive Officer once again. In response, DNCC officials assured RAJUK of full cooperation and prompt removal of the materials.
Additionally, the RAJUK Chairman instructed rickshaw pullers and other vehicle drivers operating in the Hatirjheel area to follow traffic rules and avoid traveling in the wrong direction. He warned that strict action would be taken against violators.
He also gave directions to relevant departments to initiate greening activities in the parks within Hatirjheel through tree plantation.
Several officials and staff members involved in the Hatirjheel project were present during the visit.
