Dhaka:  Police in Bangladesh capital Dhaka have launched a demolition-cum-eviction drive in the capital city’s illegal Karwan Bazaar, a day after a train mowed down shoppers, killing four and injuring five.

The demolition-cum-eviction drive began at 9 a.m.

On Thursday, four people were killed in an illegal fish market set up on railway lines in Karwan Bazar Thursday  as they jumped on to the path of an express train to avoid being run over by another train.
