All civic services of DSCC halted

All civic services of the Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) have been suspended due to recent protests by supporters of BNP leader Ishraque Hossain and work stoppages by various employee unions.

As the Nagar Bhaban remains locked, all services inside the building are shut down. In addition, the eight regional offices located outside the Nagar Bhaban are also closed.

DSCC Administrator Md Shahjahan Mia confirmed the information to The Daily Star.

He said, "For the past few days, all civic services inside the Nagar Bhaban have been suspended. Today, the regional offices outside the Nagar Bhaban are also closed. As a result, we are unable to provide any civic services to the residents of Dhaka South City."

When asked whether there had been any discussions with the DSCC employee unions, he replied, "We have informed our higher authorities of the matter. They will make any necessary decisions."
