Dhaka city

Dhaka city is now overcrowded and increasingly becoming uninhabitable. Common people are now exposed to the ill effects of overpopulation and pollution. It is really having a debilitating effect on our mental and physical health. The political parties should ponder over this issue and declare something in their electoral manifestoes on the probable solutions. The government also has a lot to do in this respect.

As a citizen of this country, I hope that our policy-makers would seek the advice of urban and regional planners for the overall development of our cities and towns.

Please do something about the problems that the city dwellers are facing these days.
