The century-old Bangshal police outpost in Old Dhaka’s Mahuttuli area has become dangerously dilapidated, posing a serious safety threat to the 25 officers stationed there. Despite being declared hazardous long ago by the Dhaka South City Corporation, the building remains in use, with cracked walls, unstable ceilings, and damaged balconies. A partial collapse occurred in June 2023, prompting authorities to label the structure unsafe, yet no relocation followed. Police personnel report working in constant fear of structural failure, particularly during storms. Local residents also express concern over potential accidents. The outpost’s in-charge, Sub-Inspector Sheikh Ali Azhar, confirmed that an alternative building has been rented nearby and that relocation will occur soon. Deputy Police Commissioner Mallik Ahsan Uddin Sami stated that plans and budget approval for constructing a new multi-storey police facility are already in place. Residents and officers alike urge immediate action to prevent a possible tragedy.
