DCC reshaping road islands and dividers
OH Kabir, 6, Hare Street, Wari, Dhaka 1203
On the one hand, innumerable roads and streets, lanes and by-lanes are damaged, cracked and full of pot holes, the roadside drains are stagnated with dirty and noxious water breeding mosquitoes, the manholes are lying without covers and tons of garbage are piled up in many places in the city.On the other hand, in the name of development work, beautification of the city and control of road traffic, the DCC is digging and destroying costly metalled and carpeted roads demolishing, reshaping road islands and road dividers again and again with taxpayers' public money. The DCC is also whimsically erecting steel frame boundary railings on the footpaths. Were not the steel frame costly boundary railings, erected a few years ago, destroyed and uprooted by the members of the public holding rallies and processions? Is it not true that the space inside the steel frame boundary railing of the footpath is being illegally occupied and used by extortionists and miscreants for toll collection from the poor hawkers and vendors obstructing the movement of the pedestrians? Would the authorities concerned stop the wastage of tax payers' money by the DCC?
