10 structures on Kalyanpur canal knocked down

Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (Wasa) with the help of district administration removed around ten semi-concrete structures Wednesday as part of an ongoing eviction drive to free a stretch of city's Kalyanpur main canal.
They however spared three mosques, portions of which were built on the canal.
Ruhul Amin, executive engineer of Wasa, said they decided to spare those considering religious sentiment.
Alid Mainul Amin, executive magistrate of Dhaka district administration, said he asked the management committees to remove the illegal portions.
