A stalemate
Bit by bit the unplanned 400 year old capital city is becoming paralysed and coming to a stalemate due to encroachment on the riverbanks, illegally built-up buildings, vehicles and influx of a huge population into the city. Indeed it's no longer to be considered as the city of mosques as it has turned into a sea of vehicles and population. There is no guarantee that you can reach your destination within your desired time, but there is a guarantee that you will have to stay stuck in a gridlock of vehicles.
Now coming to some important points, at present the biggest challenge for the government is grappling with traffic congestion, after the problem of electricity shortage. The truth is that many of our conscious citizens are talking about the ways to get out of this grave traffic gridlock, hampering our every day life with enormous wastage of precious time, keeping the very important issue of increasingly growing population size aside which is to be brought to the limelight.
Therefore, checking the population growth is a must. I would earnestly request our government to lay more emphasis upon the population control programmes, alongside resolving traffic congestion and power shortage.
