You can kindly see the condition of the lake filled with rubbish & human waste dumped by the shanty dwellers living by the lake side upstream on the south past the connecting bridge. The stench is unbearable & has made the surrounding areas very unhealthy. And the rubbish is very soon going to spread way past beyond the bridge & ultimately the entire lake. Recently, the government very proudly introduced the DAP that was widely published through the electronic & print media. May I, therefore, ask - is allowing this filling up of the Banani-Gulshan lake with rubbish a part of the DAP?
