The Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) started an eviction drive in the Mohammadpur Beribandh area of the capital on Thursday morning to demolish a part of the much-talked-about Sadeeq Agro, which was allegedly built on the site of a canal and the adjacent road.
A mobile court, led by two executive magistrates, conducted the drive to remove illegal installations of the farm.
Sadeeq Agro came to light before Eid-ul-Azha after reportedly selling a goat to the son of National Board of Revenue (NBR) official Matiur Rahman for Tk12 lakh as well as Brahman breed of cow, the import of which is banned in Bangladesh.
Meanwhile, the agro farm authorities removed cows and goats on Wednesday night ahead of the drive. Alongside, they also removed installations built illegally on the site.
On Wednesday, the DNCC sent a letter to the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) seeking the deployment of law enforcers during its drive to evict illegal establishments, including Sadeeq Agro, in the Mohammadpur Beribandh area under Zone-5 of Dhaka north city.
Wishing anonymity, a DNCC official said Sadeeq Agro built the farm occupying a part of the canal.
The farm authorities were given notice several times, but they ignored the warnings, he added.
