Total 10,374 tonnes of waste cleaned in all 54 wards
What can explain such lacklustre attempt at enhancing Dhaka’s green cover?
Dhaka North Mayor Atiqul Islam talks to The Daily Star about his achievements and failures during the four years of his mayorship.
Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) today started a three-day exhibition of waste discarded in canals, drains and other public places to create public awareness
Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) started using water cannons to spray water in its areas to prevent air pollution and keep the city cool during the ongoing intense heatwave
The Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) has initiated a project to monitor and maintain newly planted trees across the DNCC jurisdiction using General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) technology. This initiative was inaugurated at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council (BARC) auditorium on November 18.
This year, the whole of Bangladesh is experiencing unprecedented heat waves. The intense heat has reached a point where opening the windows makes the situation worse instead of bringing in relief in the form of a soothing breeze. Millions around the country, especially the lower middle class, day labourers, farmers, and people who work outside are suffering greatly.
Although Dhaka and Kolkata, two major South Asian cities, are just 240 kilometres apart and share a common history and culture, not many comparative studies on these cities have been undertaken so far.
We must rethink how cities are planned, designed, and administered to combat the adverse effects of both the heat island problem and climate change.
