The Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) has designated a 1.5km radius around Hazrat Shahjalal In-ternational Airport as a “Silent Zone” to control noise pollution.
The official announcement was made by DNCC Public Relations Officer Mokbul Hossain on Sunday morning.
The designated zone stretches from Scholastica School to Hotel Le Méridien, covering both the northern and southern sides of the airport.
This decision aligns with Rule 4 of the Noise Pollution Control Rules, 2006, and aims to reduce noise levels in the vicinity of the airport. The regulation will come into effect starting October 1.
