Decentralise in order to survive


AMDADUL HUQ / DRIKNEWS

The density of population in Dhaka has already reached alarming proportion. With the given trend of influx of people from all over the country i.e. 2000 a day, the mere survival of people in Dhaka shall be at stake very soon. Something needs to be done quickly. I wonder why the government, political leaders, entrepreneurs and the people at large are so indifferent to this problem of epic proportion. Through these columns of your esteemed daily, I would humbly request the media, both print and electronic, to launch a campaign "Decentralise in order to survive" before it is too late. I am sure the media can perform miracles if they wish. Decentralisation shall not only bring about positive changes but also do away with many of the evils that prevail in the country. Saleh Ayub
