Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) disconnected utility lines of 29 warehouses and removed raw plastic materials from five other small factories during the first hour of its drive in old Dhaka yesterday.
Raw plastic materials were found inside warehouses. Consequent by, utility connections were severed.
A team led by Brigadier General Sharif Ahmed, Chief Health Officer of the DSCC, started the drive around 11:30am.
The drive against illegal chemical warehouse started on February 28 following an inferno that claimed 71 lives.
On Sunday, a section of Old Dhaka traders created obstacles to the drive against illegal chemical warehouses for the second consecutive day. They even confined the task force members who were conducting the drive for about two hours and vandalised the car of an executive engineer of Dhaka Power Distribution Company.
However, the operation resumed after police intervention and the utility lines of a building at Killarmor were disconnected as it housed five plastic factories and a warehouse of plastic materials.
