Water body grabbers will not be spared: Atiqul

DHAKA, May 30, 2020 (BSS) – Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Mayor Md
Atiqul Islam today said no occupier and filler of water bodies and canals
will be spared.

“Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has announced ‘zero tolerance’ policy
against those who fill up the water-bodies. So, none will be spared in this
regard,” he said.

He came up with the remarks while speaking at the inaugural function of
the ‘AD-8 canal excavation work’ near Civil Aviation Cemetery here on the
opposite side of hotel Le M,ridien.

DNCC Chief Engineer Brigadier General Amirul Islam, local ward councilors
Anisur Rahman Naeem and DM Shamim and other officials concerned were present
on the occasion.

He said the canals and reservoirs which are being occupied illegally in
the city must be recovered with the help of the people, adding: “It is not
our matter of concern that how influential the occupier is in this.”

The mayor further said that the excavation work of the AD-8 canal will be
completed within the next three weeks to resolve the water-logging in Ashkona
area in the city, adding that Taka 3 crore will be spent to this end.
