Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday ordered keeping the Tentultala field in the capital’s Kalabagan area as a playground, bringing a happy end to environmentalists and locals’ protests of the construction of a police station on the ground.
When workers were busy constructing boundary walls under the supervision of police at Tetultala playground, leaders of different green organisations, socio-cultural organisations and right groups planted trees next to it.
As Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal could not yet come up with a clear-cut solution after meeting rights activists yesterday, the debate over the construction of a police station on the Tentultala field rages on.
