Decentralising govt. to ease communications
The other day at around 7 pm I went out to visit my sister and her family at Zia colony from Mohakhali. It is at best a 10 minutes' drive by bus but, it took me around an hour and a half to reach there.
I was waiting for a bus, but failed to get into one because those were already overloaded and saw that some passengers were hanging precariously from the bus door. After an hour of waiting, I finally managed to get into a staff bus of some institution.
I think we should not build any more high-rise buildings in Dhaka. Universities, hospitals and offices should be shifted outside Dhaka. And we need to modernise our communication system inside Dhaka. Also there is no other alternative but to decentralise the administration.
