Illegal structures demolished
Khulna City Corporation (KCC) in a drive conducted on Wednesday demolished over 100 unauthorised structures built on both sides of canals in Gallamari and Bagmara areas by influential persons belonging to Awami League, BNP and business community. A KCC team headed by an executive magistrate started the 20-day drive in a bid to resolve the problem of water-logging in the rainy season, according to KCC sources. The drive will continue till May 10, they said. Last year, a similar drive was conducted for the same purpose. But it was halted following murder of Shahid Iqbal Bithar who was the first convenor of the eviction drive committee. Bithar was killed in gun attack by outlaws on May 11 last year.
