Lift wanted at Uttara's regional passport office

I had been to the regional passport office at Uttara recently. God, who on earth had chosen that five storied building as a regional passport office where there is no lift? People of all ages who go there to obtain their passports have to climb up the stairs. I was shocked when I saw an elderly person of 75 or 80 years gasping when he reached the 3rd floor of the building. He had to climb up two more flights of stairs to reach the 5th floor. Out of compassion I asked the gentleman his name and it was Siddiqur Rahman. He was a retired joint secretary. Accompanying him was his wife who could make it to the 5th floor on her own and had to sit on the chair provided to her seeing her fatigue. I requested the Ansar on duty to hold the elderly lady take and her to the 5th floor.

I urge the government to place a lift there or kindly shift the office to a building which is congenial for persons of all ages.
