Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) hopes to complete road renovations by Dec

Dhaka, Oct 15 - Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Administrator Md. Mahmudul Hasan announced on Tuesday that the ongoing renovation works on the main streets of Dakshin and Uttarkhan will be completed by December.

After a visit to the roads in the afternoon, he said this while exchanging views with locals and assured them of addressing problems.

"By November, the main roads in Dakshin and Uttarkhan will be made usable for vehicular traffic, with full completion expected by December," the administrator added.

"We are committed to sustainable development in this area. While the ongoing construction has caused some inconvenience, particularly during this year’s heavy rains in September and October, we are focused on accelerating the work to alleviate the difficulties faced by residents", he shared.

The administrator emphasized that all necessary preparations are in place to ensure the project progresses with utmost importance. "This initial phase of infrastructure development aims to provide all citizens in these newly integrated wards with essential services. Once the first phase is completed, we will move on to the next phase."

Responding to a query from reporters on dengue, the administrator said "We have intensified our regular activities to combat dengue, implementing morning larviciding and afternoon fogging across the area,” the administrator added.

The cleanliness drives are going on. Though the number of dengue cases has decreased compared to last year, the DNCC aims for zero fatalities, he added.
