Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) Mayor Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh on Tuesday said that the city corporation is ready to implement the decision of area-based lockdown within 48 to 72 hours of announcement.
“We’re prepared and waiting for the decision now,” he said. He said this after paying tribute to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman by placing a wreath at the portrait of the Father of the Nation at Dhanmondi.
“As soon as the Cabinet Division issued the gazette over area-based lockdown, we started to take preparations and held a meeting of the central implementation committee,” he said.
In an effort to prevent the transmission of coronavirus and to improve the situation, the government has announced shutdown in red zones (areas with most infections) across the country.
Shutdown was announced in some parts of Chattogram, Bogura, Moulvibazar, Chuadanga, Jashore, Madaripur, Narayanganj, Habiganj, Munshiganj, Cumilla, Faridpur, Manikganj, Brahmanbaria, Narsingdi and Kushtia districts.
