DSCC to Rehabilitate Hawkers Systematically

The Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) is demonstrating its commitment to urban development and public welfare with the launch of a new road development project in the Haq Residential Society area. Administrator Md Abdus Salam's announcement regarding the planned rehabilitation of hawkers signals a proactive approach to managing street vending, a persistent challenge in our bustling capital. By ensuring that hawkers operate from designated spots for specific periods, DSCC aims to bring order to our footpaths and roads, thereby improving both pedestrian and vehicular movement.

From now on, a fixed number of vendors will be allowed to operate at designated spots on footpaths or roads for specific periods. We are ensuring their rehabilitation in an organised manner while keeping pedestrian and vehicular movement smooth

This initiative, costing Tk 3.67 crore and encompassing road upgrades and a piped drainage system, reflects the government's focus on delivering tangible results. The presence of State Minister for Road Transport and Highways and Railways Habibur Rashid underscores the importance of this project and the coordinated efforts between different government bodies. The administrator's assurance that development projects will be implemented in coordination with local Members of Parliament highlights a commitment to inclusive governance and responsiveness to local needs.

The government is focused on delivering results and that the prime minister is closely monitoring city corporation activities.

What is particularly encouraging is the DSCC's acknowledgment of the public suffering caused by unregulated street vending. Their plan to rehabilitate hawkers in an organized manner, while ensuring smooth traffic flow, is a balanced solution that addresses the concerns of both vendors and the general public. This approach, closely monitored by the Prime Minister, signifies a dedication to improving the quality of life for all Dhaka residents. The focus on newly added areas for development also shows a forward-thinking strategy to ensure equitable growth across the city.

DSCC would meet public expectations under the current administration.
