Illegally occupied playgrounds to be retrieved: Atiqul

DHAKA, Jan 24, 2020 (BSS) – Awami League (AL) mayoral candidate for the
Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Atiqul Islam today assured the
townspeople that he would take befitting steps to recover the city’s
playground which have been illegally occupied by vested quarters for long.

“If I am elected in Dhaka City Corporations’ polls, I will retrieve those
occupied playgrounds of the city to facilitate sports for youth to make the
city free from drugs and crime, engaging youths to the sports which is the best
possible option,” he told journalists.

He was talking to them after a friendly cricket match at Youth Club in
city’s Gulshan area. The mayoral aspirant took part in the match.

If playgrounds are accessible to youths, they will easily get rid of any
kind of frustration as well as anti-social activities, he added.

Later, Atiqul, accompanied by several AL leaders and activists, conducted
electioneering at different parts of Gulshan area.
