Demolition of Radda MCH-FP Centre in Mirpur

Overview

The Radda MCH-FP Centre, a 50-year-old maternal and child healthcare facility in Mirpur-1, Dhaka, was demolished during a midnight raid by a large group of masked individuals. The attack involved an excavator and resulted in the looting of medical supplies, including vaccines and ultrasound machines, severely disrupting services for low-income families.

In the aftermath, the Dhaka Metropolitan Police withdrew the Shah Ali Police Station Officer-in-Charge following allegations of negligence, as critics suggested the raid occurred in the presence of law enforcement. A three-member investigation committee was formed to examine the incident.

Human rights organization Nari Paksha condemned the vandalism, noting that the attackers used a banner for ‘Somomona Byaboshayi Parishad Limited’ to claim ownership of the land. Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan, spokesperson for the National Citizen Party, criticized the situation as an attempt at land grabbing and urged that the site remain dedicated to its original healthcare purpose rather than being converted into commercial space.
