Goodbye, mayor

No doubt, DNCC Mayor Annisul Huq had the right ideas, and the right vision. It is a tragedy for the nation that we lost him to illness before those visions for the city could be fully realised. For months, the mayor had been suffering from cerebral vasculitis, a disease causing the inflammation of the blood vessel wall involving the brain.

The mayor, the media, and me

Annisul Huq, who was quite possibly the most dynamic, popular, and even successful mayor of Dhaka, passed away recently. It was in August this year that I received a call from his wife, Rubana Huq, asking me to arrange transport at London’s Heathrow airport for the late mayor, as he was feeling rather unwell.
