Buriganga riverbank property belonging to Nasrul Hamid has been razed to the ground.
In a significant move to reclaim encroached land along several rivers in Bangladesh, authorities conducted an eviction drive on the 20th of August. The drive, aimed at freeing the rivers from encroachment, took place along the Buriganga River in Keraniganj, from Hasnabad Postgola to Kautail in South Keraniganj.
The eviction drive was a joint operation by the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) and Dhaka district administration. Members of law enforcement agencies, including the police, Fire Service, Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), Ansar, and staff from Dhaka Palli Bidyut Samity-4, also participated in the drive.
The drive targeted illegal structures set up along the riverbanks for commercial purposes. Mostafizur Rahman, deputy director of BIWTA, provided updates to reporters about the eviction drive. The riverside banglow of a former state minister for Power and Energy was among the structures demolished during the drive. However, the current Minister for Power and Energy in Bangladesh, whose riverside bungalow was illegally demolished, could not be identified in the available search results.
