Hawkers in Narayanganj cannot run their businesses on footpaths, Mayor Selina Hayat Ivy has said once again.
Ivy said this while speaking to the media in Dhaka on Tuesday, after she was released from hospital, Ivy said the footpaths of her city are meant for the public.
“A four-storey building will be constructed for the hawkers and they will move in there. My message is clear the hawkers will run their businesses in the Hawkers’ Market.”
She described last week’s fierce clashes between supporters of her and Awami League MP Shamim Osman as ‘a victory of peace against weapons’.
“I am a tested soldier of Sheikh Hasina. I do not need to prove myself time and again, said bdnews24.
I am a dedicated worker of the Awami League… I am a fighter, a leader,” Ivy said in a clear reference to Shamim Osman.
