Present three story General Post Office (GPO) building has been used as postal headquarter since 1963. Nearly two thousand employees and officials have been working with very limited space there. Workload of this postal headquarter has increased a lot in past decades, but it was impossible to expand this building. So the government decided to build a brand new headquarter for postal division. Construction of a sixteen story building at Agragoan area of the capital for postal division is almost completed and Dhaka GPO will be transferred there soon. Then old three story GPO building will be demolished. Recent directive from government is to make it a green area. Undoubtedly city dwellers will be very happy to see a new green area when trees are becoming rarer in the congested capital.
