Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Abu Sayed Md Kamruzzaman said on Tuesday that Dhaka Wasa, Rajuk and the DNCC will work together on the wastewater management of Gulshan and Banani areas.
He said this while inspecting the wastewater management plant constructed by the DNCC on the bank of Banani Lake adjacent to Karail Slum.
CEO Sayed informed that the DNCC will soon build a drain along a road, owned by the Rajuk, stretching from the Bridge of Banani No-11 road to Karail Slum, as requested by the Rajuk.
He said the DNCC has already constructed three wastewater management plants with the help of the Unicef and the trial-basis operations of those will begin this month.
Such plants will be set up in several areas of the DNCC in future if the plants work properly without any kind of chemical, the CEO said.

DNCC Chief Engineer Brig. Gen Md Moin Uddin, Chief Waste Management Official Commodore ABM Shamsul Alam, DNCC officials from several departments and representatives from Banani Society, among others were present there.
