In pursuit of a clean Dhaka

I live in Banasree. The area has a lake, but unfortunately, it is filled with filthy substances. The lake is dying due to the reckless dumping of garbage. The water in it has turned murky and black and has turned into a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

If the local residents took care of the lake by themselves, then the lake would get a life and the site would turn into a breathtaking place. In reality, however, the local residents are encroaching on the lake and dumping their garbage in it.

We always blame the authorities for this sorrowful state of Dhaka city. But we have our fair share of the blame. Had we been sincere about our duties as citizens, Dhaka would have been a better and cleaner city.
