KHULNA, Sept 20, 2025 (BSS) - Khulna Metropolitan Police (KMP) on Saturday 
launched eviction drives on city footpaths to ensure smooth movement of 
pedestrians 

A KMP team, led by Sudarshan Kumar Roy, Deputy Police Commissioner (South), 
evicted temporary shops and signboards from footpaths in the busiest areas of 
the city from 10.00 am to 3.00pm today.

The footpaths from Shibbari to Dawkbangla Mor-Picture Palace Intersection to 
Helatola Mor via Sadar Thana Mor.

Sudarshan Kumar Roy, Deputy Police Commissioner (South), said that due to the 
installation of signboards and temporary shops on the footpaths, pedestrians 
are forced to walk on the road, which creates traffic congestion and the risk 
of accidents.

To improve this situation, the eviction drive was carried out jointly by the 
KMP's Traffic Department and local police station.

The main goal of this eviction was to completely free up the sidewalks for 
the movement of the common people, he said, adding that the eviction drives 
will continue on the busy footpaths as well.
