The city sinking
Ahmad Kamal, Abu Dhabi, UAE
I am horrified, to say the least, at the reported attempt of the government to swallow the last piece of wet land in the capital city, thereby choking Dhaka (already a dying city) effectively of any outlet (of rain/flood water). I wonder sometimes -- are we living in some prehistoric age or are we a bunch of idiots who love to cut the branch of the tree they are sitting on. To them it doesn't matter if Dhaka sinks under water in the rainy season or under garbage otherwise (courtesy Mr Khoka).I urge the environmentalists to stand up against this dangerous scheme of the government to eat up the Hatir jheel.
