Our beloved, beautiful Dhaka city has become a nightmare for commuters. Reaching any destination involves hours of sweating and inhaling of toxic emissions from the countless vehicles baking in the sun. Journeys of 15 minutes extend to an hour or more. Yet no development work is being done to relieve us of these inconveniences.  

A lot of funding is being channeled towards other sectors. Our foreign guests come and leave with the impression of empty Dhaka streets, so they don't donate to the development of this sector. We urgently need solutions to this nightmare.
