Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives State Minister Mr. Mir Shahe Alam, MP, conducted a sudden clean-up drive in the Shahbagh area under Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) shortly after attending a parliamentary session, as part of efforts to improve waste management and cleanliness discipline.
During the drive, 10 traders were fined by a mobile court for dumping waste near shops and causing environmental pollution.
The operation also included a two-hour-long awareness campaign among traders and pedestrians to promote cleanliness and proper waste disposal.
The minister arrived in the Shahbagh area at around 8pm on Sunday immediately after the parliamentary session ended.
During his inspection, he expressed dissatisfaction upon finding garbage accumulated near several shops and directed immediate action against those responsible.
