The condition which the residents of East Jurain, under Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC), have been living in for years is unbelievable.

Ward 53 of Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) covers most parts of East Jurain’s Muradpur area. According to the 2011 census, more than 27,000 people live in this ward which, according to them, has become probably the worst place to live in Dhaka.

Fed up with the authorities' failure to solve the prolonged waterlogging problem at Haji Khorshed Ali Sardar Sarak in the capital's East Jurain, locals have taken matters into their own hands.
