The Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) has decided to build “Eco Smart City” at Nasirabad, one of the neglected areas of the capital city, as part of the move to bring all the 18 new wards under the modern housing facilities.
“We have decided to build “Eco Smart City” in Nasirabad area situated under the newly inducted ward-75 with all the modern facilities,” DSCC Mayor Barrister Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh told BSS in an exclusive interview at his Nagar Bhaban office here.
The DSCC has already served notices to the developers working in ward-75 asking them not to requisition any land there from now on, he said.
The 18 new wards – 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75 – have been fell under the jurisdiction of Shyampur, Dania, Matuail, Sarulia, Demra, Manda, Dakshingaon and Nasirabad unions.
Mentioning that enough open space is required for building modern housings, but they are running out with the passage of time, the mayor said, “So, keeping that in mind, we are going to set up the modern housing facilities in the new wards where we have got sufficient open space,” he said.
To facilitate the communication of the populace of the housing, the Mayor, the existing 663.91 kilometres roads will be renovated or reconstructed apart from building new roads.
