Dhaka’s ‘Silent Zone’ initiative, launched on October 1, 2024, aims to combat noise pollution from traffic horns. Starting around Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, it will expand citywide. In light of such an initiative, we spoke to people of different walks of life around the city to find out what they had to say about this action and their expectations for the future.

Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) has declared the surrounding area of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport as "silent zone"

The Secretariat and its surrounding areas have been declared sound pollution free zone.
