`Police station won’t be constructed on Tetultala playground`

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has said that Kalabagan Police Station will not be constructed on Tetultala playground in the city.

The minister made the announcement at a press conference at the Secretariat on Thursday.

“Kalabagan Police Station will not be constructed on Tetultala playground.  The playground will be open to everyone.  Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has instructed this”, said Asaduzzaman Khan.

The Tetultala playground, under ward 17 of Dhaka South City Corporation, has long been used as the playground for children and other social activities like a funeral prayer by the locals.

But the Kalabagan police mounted a signboard in 2020 mentioning the spot was fixed for the police station. The residents immediately protested the action, removed the signboard, and continued using the space as before.
