Jatrabari-Gulistan flyover

About one and half years ago when the construction work of the flyover started, it went on with high speed, but these days the work is going on at snail's pace. Due to the construction work, both sides of Jatrabari-Gulistan is jam packed with buses, trucks, taxis, scooters, motor cycles, rickshaws and pushcarts. It takes hours to reach Jatrabari from Hatkhola. Moreover, the sufferings of the pedestrians, especially the school going children, know no bound. On both sides of Jatrabari-Gulistan route at Folder Street, Wari, the school children cross the road at the great risk of their lives. Almost daily small and big accidents are taking place and the traffic police are sitting idle. We would request our authorities concerned to divert all the heavy vehicles, buses, trucks, lorries from Jatrabari-Kamalapur Railway Station to Motijheel Commercial Area near Bangladesh Bank temporarily, until the work finishes, for the relief and benefit of the public. Would Dhaka City Corporation, Roads and Highways Department and Dhaka Metropolitan Police do the needful in the grater interest of public service?
