“When we visited here in the morning, Sadeeq Agro authorities claimed the building has valid documents. After that we checked the documents again but we found that the building has been built occupying the canal site [illegally],” said Motakabbir Ahmed, the regional executive officer and executive magistrate of Dhaka North City Corporation Region-5.
The much talked about goat which was priced at Tk15 lakh was also kept here. During the eviction, the goat was moved to an open space nearby.
Earlier yesterday, Mahbub Hasan, executive magistrate of Dhaka North City Corporation, told The Business Standard that a letter was sent from the city corporation to the DMP for police deployment during the eviction drive.
