A police official, asking to remain anonymous, said the authorities went to the scene on Sunday and found the illegal structure had already been demolished. He did not mention from whom the land was rented amid allegations from some locals that Selim had occupied the illegal land. Meanwhile, the BIWTA demolished several illegal structures in front of Swarighat Chan Sardar Cold Storage. Rezaul Karim, assistant director of BIWTA, said around 50 illegal establishments had been demolished during the drive which began around 11:30 am. According to the BIWTA, all illegal structures along the Buriganga river from Imamganj to Loharpool under Chawkbazar and Lalbagh police stations in Old Dhaka will be removed between Sunday and Monday.
