Lost canals
Sumon Dutta, On e-mail
Heavy rain has destroyed the sewerage system. Dhaka City Corporation has decided that they will change the system and its water extraction plan. They told us that they could not solve this problem without changing the entire design. What a joke ! What have they done since the year began? They rent public footpath to party men, thieves and local criminals by changing footpath designs. Everybody knows that sewerage water and rainwater pass over to the rivers through those canals. The city's big canals are narrowing day by day. Some have disappeared altogether if we look at Dhaka's old map. The corporation's failure to handle things properly is responsible for such a state of affairs. The present caretaker government has also failed to recover those canals from them (developers and real estate groups).
