The DNCC and the DMP will jointly conduct the drives at night to shut these down,鈥� he said while talking to reporters after inaugurating the construction work for 20 kilometres of road, 34 kilometres of drainage and 15 kilometres of footpath in the Mirpur and Pallabi area under wards 6, 7, and 8 of the city.
He also urged the house owners association in different parts of the city to keep illegal rickshaws out of residential areas.
鈥楶lease do not allow commercial activities or illegal vehicles here. With community support, we can stop unauthorised vendors and rickshaws,鈥� he said.
Urging the residents to verify mauza maps before purchasing any plots from housing companies, the DNCC administrator said, 鈥楨nsure the land is not designated as a water body. Buying such plots will lead to complications later.鈥�
He also urged the residents to plant large trees in the upcoming monsoon instead of small saplings to transform the Pallabi area into a green space.
