DCC move to drive out playground occupants

City Correspondent
Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) is going to remove structures of Gulshan Youth Club from the Gulshan Central Park and take control of the playground.
"I have ordered the DCC chief estate officer to evict any unauthorised entity and occupancy of Gulshan Youth Club from the playground.” DCC Mayor Sadeque Hossain Khoka told The Daily Star on April 7.
Gulshan Youth Club has long been running its club activities occupying the playground.
The DCC will have its full control over maintenance of the field as per its own rules in the interests of the locals, said the mayor. The social welfare officer of DCC will run a small office at the ground, if required, for better maintenance.
“I have further ordered making proposals for development of the playground and sports and other facilities as per need of the locals,” said Khoka.
DCC Chief Estate Officer Md Khalilur Rahman said he has asked the estate officer to make a spot visit to the playground. "We will go for necessary legal actions on the basis of findings of the visit,” said Rahman.
Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk), original owner of the parkland, has also served notice on the club questioning its authorisation of being at the ground.
“We have asked Gulshan Youth Club to explain the legality of occupancy of the playground,” said Rajuk Chairman KAM Haroon, “We have not found any documents in support of their occupancy at the playground,” headded.
According to sources at DCC, Gulshan Youth Club in a letter, signed by its President Rafez Alam Chowdhury, to the city mayor on March 30 asked for a permanent lease of a part of the playground in favour of the club.
But the mayor did not approve the lease and issued the eviction
order the following day.
DCC Estate Officer Khalil Ahmed said he has checked the relevant; files and found that DCC has not authorised Gulshan Youth Club to occupy the playground, build its office building and run club activities there.
Recently in a similar drive in the wake of public outcry, Public Works Department (PWD) retrieved a children's park, lying at the intersection of roads no-3, 4, and 5 in Dhanmondi, from unauthorised occupancy.
Dhanmondi Cricket Academy had been occupying the playground for past several years without any authorisation and using it in an exclusive manner.
The PWD on March 25 pulled down two signboards of the occupier and put up its own signboard that reads — the playground is meant for use of the locals for sports purposes and that it cannot be used commercially anyway.
