Banani Lake is a lake in Dhaka, Bangladesh, bordering Banani, Gulshan, Korail Adarsha Nagar, and Mohakhali.[1][2]
History
Following the July 2016 Dhaka attack, the government imposed a ban on boats in the lake because of security concerns.[3][4] The lake has faced encroachment from the Karail area.[5] The lake borders the largest slum, Korail, and the posh neighborhood of Gulshan.[6]
