Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) conducted a mobile court drive to evict a total of 188 illegal shops from its three-storied Roadside market or Tula Market in the capital’s Nilkhet area on Sunday, reports UNB.
The drive was led by Md Muniruzzaman, Estate Officer and Executive Magistrate of DSCC.
During the drive, only 35 shops on the first floor of the market were found to be legal. Thirty-eight shops on the first floor were extended illegally, while 75 shops on the second floor and another 75 shops on the third floor were being run without permission.“A vested group had built these shops illegally without taking any approval from us. All of these shops excluding the 35 legal ones on the first floor will be taken down. The drive will continue until it’s done,” said Muniruzzaman.
The drive was supervised by DSCC’s Chief Estate Officer Rasel Sabrin and will resume on Monday.
