No playground, no children park

Due to inefficiencies of RAJUK and DCC, Dhaka has turned into a concrete jungle. Except for a few commercial amusements parks situated in different places, there is no playground or children's park in Dhaka. Our children have started playing football and cricket earmarking portions of various roads and streets obstructing movement of pedestrians as well as vehicles and also causing accidents. Ninety-nine per cent of our govt. and private schools and colleges have no playground, but the authorities take a large amount of tuition fees from the students. Would our Education Minister and Health Minister kindly do something for sports, recreation, physical exercise and mental development of our children? We suggest that in whichever schools/colleges playground is available, children from other schools/colleges may be allowed to use the premises at least once in a week by rotation. Something is better than nothing.
