Dhanmondi R/A
Dhanmondi residential area has long become a veritable commercial zone. We the residents are faced with horrible traffic jams lasting for hours almost every day. Footpaths are inaccessible due to encroachments and unauthorised shops. Noise pollution has reached an unbearable level forcing us to remain indoors with windows shut.
At the beginning of the Holy Ramadan, we the residents of Road-12A faced a new problem. An illegal shop, 'rented' by some officials of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on the southeastern corner of the Abahani playground mounted four powerful loudspeakers on the tree and started blaring religious slogans and sermons day and night with azan. The fact is that there is a huge community mosque within less than 60 yards from the spot near the Dhanmondi lake. However, the microphones were finally removed by the law enforcers, but the illegal shop still exists.
Through your paper we are appealing to the BCB and the police administration to look into the matter.
