In connection with the operation, Corporation Property Officer and Executive Magistrate Mohammad Moniruzzaman said that the existing road from Mugda’s main road Bishwa Road to Hyder Ali School has been identified to widen the existing road by 50 feet according to the DAP design. In that light notice has been given to the building owners. We requested them to remove the structures. In view of that, almost all the building owners are moving their structures spontaneously for the sake of development of the area by widening the road.

At present the average road width is 17 feet. This initiative has been taken with the aim of creating 5 feet by 10 feet pedestrian walkways (sidewalks) and two rows (double lanes) of 40 feet main road on both sides of the road.435153609_1092952135335455_918992177848148753_n
