Bangladesh Poribesh Andolon (Bapa) on Friday reiterated their stance in bringing back the lost glory of the historic Suhrawardy Udyan by removing all illegal occupancy within its premises.
“The largest park in the capital, has lost its beauty and importance as illegal shops, young couples, drug addicts and floating people occupy most of the space of the historic ground,” Bapa General Secretary Abdul Matin said while speaking at a press briefing at the Comrade Moni Singh-Farhad Memorial Trust Auditorium, reports BSS.
Columnist Syed Abul Moksud said: “The park has a profound connection with our history, so the government should evict all illegal occupancy from the park through the formation of a high-power committee.”
Speakers said some of the land is still used for playing golf, though the High Court declared the allocation of Suhrawardy Udyan’s land to Dhaka Club.
