Woes of Uttara residents
We, the residents of Uttara, are facing lots of problems, but there is nobody to address them. Law and order has sharply deteriorated. Mugging is an everyday affair. The police station in the eastern part has little effectiveness in the sprawling western side. Again, a few new sectors are coming up in that side, apparently to increase the problem. One or two more police outposts need to be set up immediately. A part of Uttara is still outside Dhaka Municipal Corporation and there is none to provide civic amenities. Even there is none to control stray dogs, creating menace to morning and evening walkers. Streetlights are absent and most of the roads are dilapidated. Nobody came to register us as voters.
We urge the authorities concerned (we don't know who they are) to look into our plight. If DMC is overburdened, why can't they create a new municipality for Uttara?
