Book of condolence for Annisul Huq unveiled at Digital World 2017
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.
Something is better than nothing
Mayor Annisul Huq’s transport plan may be our best bet I am somewhat relieved to see the government suddenly pull out of the dusty shelf the transport consolidation plan put together by the late businessman Annisul Huq, whose entrepreneurial background had led to his appointment as the DNCC chief.
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.
His contributions to the business community were unique
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,
Artists to pay respect to Annisul Huq
Late Mayor Annisul Huq was the major organiser of the organisation called Shilpir Pashe Foundation, formed for the artists from different sectors of Bangladesh. The foundation will organise a special event to commemorate him.
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. Afterwards, the mayor himself told me
How did city cleaners pay tribute to their mayor?
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.
This is my dream job
Annisul Huq seems, at first, a little taciturn as we sit down to talk on Saturday. He smiles and talks about the city poll elections in Dhaka. “I would have been happier if the BNP had stayed in the race – then there would be no questions.”
