In an unusual but touching gesture, Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) authorities said they are going to host a mass clean-up programme on Valentine's Day, the 14th of February .
DSCC Mayor Sayeed Khokon confirmed the event to journalists on Tuesday, saying: “We will launch a clean-up programme with the participation of Dhaka residents on Valentine's Day. With the event, I want to express my love for the city. I urge everybody to participate.”
To make the initiative a success, the authorities will get help from voluntary organisations, Khokon added.
