Five units of the Fire Service, after three and half hours of trying, managed to remove a huge old tree that fell on the road in front of Dhaka South City Corporation (Nagar Bhaban).

Before the complete removal of the tree at around 11.40 pm, traffic on the road remained stranded.

The tree fell on the road at around 8.05 pm.

Within five minutes members of five units of the Fire Service reached the spot and started the removal operation.
Fire Service and Civil Defence Headquarters Station Officer (Media cell), Mohammad Raihan, said that the tree was very old. As the soil softened due to rain, the tree was uprooted and fell on the road.
