A book of condolence commemorating late mayor of the Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Annisul Huq was unveiled at the Digital World 2017 tech expo, at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in Dhaka. Visitors at the expo signed and wrote remarks in the book to mourn the passing of the beloved 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.
As the leader of the country’s two major trade bodies, the late Annisul Huq made great contributions to institutionalise the organisations, his former colleagues and friends in the business community said. A successful businessman and a popular TV show host, the mayor of Dhaka north who passed away on Thursday night in London was an energetic organiser, they said.
Shakespeare’s Mark Antony delivered these famous words in his eulogy for Julius Caesar: “The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.” But let that not be the case with the passing of our beloved Mayor Annisul Huq whose good deeds, we hope, will not only live on in our memory,
Annisul Huq, who was quite possibly the most dynamic, popular, and even successful mayor of Dhaka, passed away recently.

Afterwards, the mayor himself told me
Cleaners employed by Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) had worked an extra hour on Sunday morning to show respect to late mayor Annisul Huq. The cleaners are seen working till 12pm on Sunday. They work from 5am to 11am on regular days.
Annisul Huq came to the spotlight after becoming Mayor of Dhaka North City Corporation from a successful businessman and TV anchor. Though Annisul Huq was not an active politician, he was elected as the mayor of Dhaka North City Corporation in 2015 with the ticket of the ruling Awami League with the slogan 'clean, safe and smart city'. He had a dream to make Dhaka city livable.
Businessmen, politicians and several eminent citizens of the country have urged the government to declare a state mourning for the demise of DNCC Mayor Annisul Huq. Many of them have told the Asian Age that government should declare state mourning for the early demise of Annisul Huq.
