Dhaka's traffic jam

The city corps cannot run in the amateurish way followed at present. The professional touch is missing (including garbage disposal). There are no signs of municipal reforms, while the elections of city fathers are being duly and expensively contested!. This office-bearership syndrome is hampering the fast development of the country.

The government is trying to increase the technical efficiency of the Police, but if corruption prevails at the current level, then development projects are a waste of money and time. The politicians are busy with their footprints, in or out of power, and damn the public services! The parliament is a mockery, and waste of crores of Taka. Where is efficiency, looking from the top to the bottom at the various tiers of the public services? There is a craving for seeking new projects, for siphoning off a large percentage of the project funds. The Communication Minister is partly right when he remarked that there were too many TPs manning the traffic (good source of bakshish!).
