A special eviction drive was conducted around Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) to clear sidewalks occupied by hawkers and illegal structures. The operation, held on Wednesday morning, was inaugurated by Abdus Salam, administrator of Dhaka South City Corporation, as part of a broader initiative to free footpaths and enhance the area’s appearance. Ansar members actively participated in the drive, removing makeshift shops and mobile vendors from the hospital vicinity.

Following the inauguration, a team led by Brigadier General Asaduzzaman, director of DMCH, began the operation from the Shaheed Minar Gate (Gate No. 3). Authorities reported that the sidewalks around the hospital were freed from encroachment, improving movement for patients and visitors and restoring overall order.

A similar operation had been launched on April 2 to improve the hospital’s environment and discipline. However, after hawkers reoccupied the cleared spaces, the hospital administration initiated this renewed drive to maintain cleanliness and accessibility in the area.
