Railway track
The railway track meanders through the heart of the city at more than two dozen points before it reaches its ultimate destination. The traffic movement comes to a standstill causing serious impediments to the city dwellers, particularly the students, office goers and the sick.
I shall request the concerned authorities to immediately relocate the Kamalapur Railway Station outside of the main city, preferably Tongi. The existing railway track from Banani to Kamalapur should be developed as a national highway. This will provide the city dwellers with an alternative road and help remove traffic congestion to a great extent. Construction of flyovers and overbridges will not be necessary and many link roads may subsequently be opened.
