Khoka suggests 100-yr master plan for Dhaka

  • 02/08/2008

Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) Mayor Sadeque Hossain Khoka during a meeting yesterday underscored the need for formulating a 100-year-long master plan to keep the capital habitable. He also suggested that a separate independent authority be formed, comprised of environmentalists and experts concerned, to save the rivers around Dhaka as they are dying. Khoka was presiding over a meeting arranged to celebrate 144 years of the DCC at Osmani Auditorium. He said if a 100-year-long master plan is not taken immediately, Dhaka will become an uninhabitable city.
