Illegal structures on Dhaka–Sylhet Highway in Rupganj evicted

 
 
 Rupganj (Narayanganj) Correspondent 
 
The administration has cleared illegal encroachments from both sides of the Dhaka–Sylhet highway in the Bhulta and Golakandail areas of Rupganj Upazila in Narayanganj. A day-long eviction drive was conducted on Thursday in the presence of joint forces.
 
The operation was led by Rupganj UNO  and Executive Magistrate Saiful Islam.
 
Also present during the drive were Assistant Commissioner (Land) and Executive Magistrate Tarikul Islam, and the Officer-in-Charge of Rupganj Police Station, Tarikul Islam.
 
UNO Saiful Islam said that the Dhaka–Sylhet highway in the Bhulta and Golakandail areas is one of the busiest roads, flanked by large markets and businesses, including the Gaussia cloth market. As an industrial area, thousands of people travel through this route daily. However, hawkers and vendors had illegally occupied both sides of the highway with shops, severely disrupting vehicular movement and causing persistent traffic jams, leading to immense suffering for commuters and pedestrians alike.
 
He further added, "Even though eviction drives are conducted from time to time, the hawkers return and reoccupy the space. This will no longer be tolerated. Due to these illegal setups on the highway, people were facing daily hardships. That’s why, under the initiative of the Narayanganj district administration, the eviction drive began on Thursday morning with joint force support."
 
During the operation, all illegal establishments, including various types of shops and temporary structures, were demolished using bulldozers and excavators. As a result, the entire stretch of the highway was cleared of footpath encroachments, bringing relief to local residents, pedestrians, and travelers.
 
Authorities have issued a stern warning that if anyone tries to illegally reoccupy the highway, legal action will be taken against them.
