DSCC Administrator Conducts Surprise Inspection and Eviction Drive
Dhaka South City Corporation Administrator Freedom Fighter Md. Abdus Salam led a surprise inspection at Regional Office-5, finding 25 percent of staff absent. He subsequently led an eviction drive to clear footpaths from Motijheel to Bangabhaban.
On Tuesday, September 15, 2026, the Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) witnessed a major administrative crackdown as Administrator and Freedom Fighter Md. Abdus Salam conducted a sudden, unannounced inspection at the corporation's Regional Office-5, located in Shahjahanpur, Motijheel. The high-profile visit aimed to ensure strict adherence to office hours and to evaluate the overall delivery of public municipal services within the designated jurisdiction of the Dhaka South City Corporation.
During the course of the detailed surprise inspection at the regional facility, the visiting administrator uncovered widespread absenteeism among the municipal workforce. Official findings confirmed that a concerning twenty-five percent of the total officers and employees assigned to the Regional Office-5 were found to be absent from their respective workstations during the early morning hours, raising serious questions about institutional discipline and accountability within the local government body.
Following the startling revelations of staff absenteeism at the regional office, Administrator Md. Abdus Salam immediately shifted his focus to public infrastructure and pedestrian mobility. He personally took charge of and spearheaded a vigorous eviction drive designed to clear illegally occupied footpaths. The targeted operation spanned across the crucial commercial and governmental corridor stretching from Motijheel all the way to Bangabhaban, ensuring the removal of unauthorized structures and obstructions that had long been impeding daily pedestrian movement.
Addressing the pressing issue of municipal governance and public service delivery during these operations, Administrator Md. Abdus Salam issued a stern and uncompromising warning to all personnel and external elements. He explicitly stated, 'There will not be the slightest tolerance for any form of negligence or apathy in providing citizen services.' He further elaborated that strict punitive action would be taken without exception against anyone causing public suffering, regardless of whether the offenders are internal employees of the city corporation or affiliated with any external parties whatsoever.
