Airport or bus terminal?
The first impression that the visiting foreigners get about our country is from the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA). It is perhaps the most poorly equipped and maintained airport in the world. The toilets are dirty with inoperative flushes and the bad odour can make you unconscious. Taps don't have water and floors are always wet. The facilities for transit passengers are very poor. The only presentable area in HSIA is the VIP and VVIP terminals. The remaining areas of the airport are completely neglected. There is lack of frequent inspections. It feels more like a bus terminal than an international airport. I hope the authorities would look into it and improve the situation.
