Chaos Ensues as Dhaka’s Historic Mukhtangan is Liberated
In a bold move that has sparked controversy and chaos, the historic Mukhtangan in Dhaka has been claimed by various political factions. The iconic square, located in the heart of the capital’s Paltan area, has long been a focal point for political gatherings and public events. However, recent developments have turned the once serene space into a battleground for power and control.
Illegal Activities Run Rampant in Mukhtangan
Reports from various sources indicate that illegal activities, such as unauthorized car parking, have become rampant within the Mukhtangan premises and surrounding areas. It is alleged that political parties are colluding with parking attendants to extort money from drivers, with each vehicle being charged a daily fee and additional one-time payments reaching up to fifteen thousand taka. This exploitation has not only tarnished the sanctity of the space but also raised concerns about the safety and security of visitors.
A Haven for Criminal Activities
As night falls, the Mukhtangan transforms into a hub for illicit drug trade and substance abuse, with addicts congregating in secluded corners to indulge in their vices. The lack of proper oversight and law enforcement has allowed a network of criminals to thrive within the vicinity, preying on unsuspecting individuals and endangering public safety.
Call for Action to Reclaim Mukhtangan
Najrul Islam Bablu, the Secretary-General of the Asian Human Rights Organization, has called upon the authorities to take immediate action to reclaim the Mukhtangan from the clutches of political opportunists and restore order to the area. He emphasized the need to crack down on illegal parking activities and ensure the safety of all visitors to the square.
As the situation escalates, it is imperative for the Dhaka South City Corporation, along with the local police and relevant authorities, to heed this call for action and address the growing concerns surrounding the Mukhtangan. Failure to do so may result in further chaos and lawlessness, jeopardizing the historical significance and cultural heritage of this iconic landmark. Only through concerted efforts and decisive measures can the Mukhtangan be liberated from the grips of corruption and criminal elements, returning it to its rightful place as a symbol of freedom and democracy in the heart of Dhaka.
