Banani Lake is a lake in Dhaka, Bangladesh, bordering Banani, Gulshan, Mohakhali and Korail.[1][2][3]

History

Following the July 2016 Dhaka attack, the government imposed a ban on boats in the lake because of security concerns.[4][5] The lake has faced encroachment from the Karail area.[6] The lake borders the posh neighborhood of Gulshan and one of the largest slums in Bangladesh, Korail.[7][8]
