Dhaka South starts waste removal from Banasree canal
The Dhaka South City Corporation has begun removing sacrificial animal waste from the capital's Banasree canal amid confusion over jurisdiction over the area between the two city corporations of Dhaka city.
A part of the Banasree canal is located on the border of Dhaka North and Dhaka South City Corporation. So, neither of the corporations removed sacrificial waste from there before this evening.
After the matter came to attention, Dhaka South Chief Executive Officer Md Mizanur Rahman ordered the Waste Management Department to remove the waste, the corporation said in a press release.
