Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) evicted a total of 188 shops from its three-storeyed roadside market or Tula Market at Nilkhet in the capital on Sunday terming those illegal.
The drive was led by Md Moniruzzaman, Estate Officer and Executive Magistrate of the DSCC.
The demolition drive will continue on Monday (November 6, 2022), the DSCC said.
During the drive, only 35 shops on the first floor of the market were found to be legal, Moniruzzaman claimed. 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 Moniruzzaman.
The drive was supervised by DSCC's Chief Estate Officer Rasel Sabrin and will resume on Monday.
