An appeal
I am an inhabitant of Dhanmondi Road no 3/A and these days it has become impossible to go to your own veranda due to the presence of some uncivilised people. My apartment is adjacent to the lake and throughout the day people gather there as if it were an amusement park. Hundreds of people come here every day but some come to disturb others. If you open your window you will see young men and women in intimate postures and that continues till the late evening. We have young children in our home and we face an awkward problem when they see this and try to ignore. To add insult to injury, some young men take drugs in broad daylight in front of hundreds of people. Some even tease you when you sit in your own veranda to have some fresh air.
We came here to have some freedom from the hustle and bustle of city life but alas! It is worsening day by day.
I believe this is high time to stop those uncivilised persons from doing unlawful things in a residential area. I firmly believe the authorities can make them behave in a civilised manner by taking stringent measures and thus allow the people of Dhanmondi (once known as the most serene place) to live peacefully. Sometimes we feel like being exiled in our own place.
