Waterlogging in Dhaka must end

Every year during the monsoon season, Dhaka's streets are flooded after just a few minutes of rain. During the dry season, this problem can be solved by setting up a proper drainage system across the city. And for this to happen, the rivers and canals need to be recovered from the clutches of the powerful people. 

Plastic bottles and bags should also be recycled. These items end up clogging the drains and rivers, blocking the flow of water during the monsoon season. 

I hope the city mayors will live up to their promises of mitigating this never-ending problem of flooding and waterlogging in the city.
