I live in Uttara, and now-a-days it usually takes more than an hour to reach Motijheel from Uttara. I wish our so called ministry of communication understands the pains and sufferings that the ordinary citizens go through in their every day lives. The traffic jam is simply unimaginable. We are hapless because proper steps are not at all taken to eradicate traffic jams. The role of traffic police is certainly worthless. I hope the respected authorities know that time is too important in life. Traffic jam, along with the extreme heat adds to the sufferings of the people. I hope our government will immediately take practical steps to save the people that they are supposed to serve from the miseries.
