High-rise buildings
Mrinal Sarkar Lecturer in English College of Development Alternative Dhanmondi, Dhaka
The multi-storeyed buildings everywhere are congesting the sky of Dhaka. Don't the developers and the owners of the buildings have environmental knowledge? Has money made them blind ? Can money save them from natural disasters? People are constructing buildings as though they are in a competition to make high-rise buildings to have the first prize.Most of the places of Dhaka are now filled with new structures. There is no big playground left in the city. We will not be able to produce international standard cricketers and footballers in near future. In comparison to the last few years, we can see that there is less rain this year in Dhaka, which is not a good sign at all. RAJUK should play a fair role in this regard. They have to have a law for making buildings in the capital as it is in New Delhi in India. The common people also must be conscious about this so that they can make a good, beautiful and pollution free environment for the next generation. Seeing the present condition of Dhaka, I would like to comment like Coleridge, "Buildings, buildings everywhere".
