Dhaka South seeks up to Tk3cr each from banks to celebrate Dhaka's 416th anniversary

Hawkers occupy much of the walking space on Dhaka South's escalator-equipped footbridge at New Market, forcing pedestrians through a narrow passage. Built at a cost of Tk9.77 crore and inaugurated in February, the city's only escalator-equipped footbridge has become a trading spot for vendors evicted from nearby footpaths.
