Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) will start collecting information about the illegally occupied streets under the corporation to recover them for widening.
DNCC Mayor Atiqul Islam has directed the ward councillors to gather the information at a virtual board meeting recently.
Atiqul expressed concern over the illegal occupation of some city streets allegedly by owners of buildings deviating from RAJUK's design.
DNCC has decided to recover the roads and reclaim their width according to the actual design, the mayor said.
After the list is prepared, the councillors of the concerned wards in collaboration with the property department of the DNCC will ensure the widening of the roads by removing illegal occupants, he added.
