Committed to PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO KNOW Vol. 5 Num 896 Mon. December 04, 2006       Star City Khoka's Corner Authorities of the Ibn Sina Trust, a leading healthcare provider in the city, has taken up two-third of a footpath in front of its under-construction Trust Bhaban on Satmasjid Road in the name of beautification. A short wall has been built on the footpath for 'planting trees and shrubs.' With an electric frame pillar on the remaining part of the footpath, the entire walkway has become unusable for pedestrians. Ibn Sina authorities said they had obtained permission from the Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) to build the structure on the footpath but DCC Estate Department officials denied giving 'any permission to anyone to build anything on a city footpath'. Will our honourable mayor look into the matter. PHOTO: STAR
