Anowara park reopens after 7yrs

After remaining closed for seven years due to metro rail construction, Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) has reopened Shaheed Anowara Udyan at Farmgate to the public.

DNCC Administrator Mohammad Azaz announced at a programme yesterday that Anowara Udyan in Farmgate has been opened for public use starting yesterday. After a long closure, city residents can once again freely use the park.

He also informed that a walkway will be constructed around the park. “We will start work very soon. We will sit and decide on keeping the field open at least until 10:00pm,” he said.

Speaking at the event, Dhaka Metro Rail Managing Director Faruk Ahmed said metro rail project work in the Anowara Udyan area has been completed. He added that by the 15th of next month, all remaining structures on the field will be removed and the area will be fully cleaned.

Anowara Udyan in Farmgate had been closed to the public since 2018 due to metro rail construction work.
