When schools become obstacle

Humayun Hyder, Zikatola, Dhaka
Recently, South Breeze School has opened a junior section just at the entrance point from Satmasjid road to Zikatola, renting a private house. Many cars are parked near the school thus blocking the main road. As a result heavy traffic congestion takes place everyday and compels commuters to sit on the rickshaws or other mode of transportations for hours to get to the Satmasjid road. As an old resident of Zikatola, I have never experienced such congestion until the school was established. I believe it is the duty of the city corporation to consider many aspects before issuing a school license on a busy intersection. It is my request to the school authority as well as other concerned authority to shift the school from that place considering its importance and the hazards that the commuters face everyday.
