Expand the Nabisco-Farmgate lane

Adnan Abdullah, Nakhalpara, Dhaka
The lane from Nabisco (Tejgaon) to Farmgate is an important lane used by thousands of pedestrians everyday. But it remained uncared for, unnoticed and overlooked by the Dhaka City Corporation for decades. This is the only lane connecting Farmgate. The lane is very narrow and is very difficult for the movement of car. Pedestrians, too, find it difficult to use. The two sides of the lane are occupied illegally and in an unauthorized manner by some shopkeepers thereby blocking and narrowing the lane. This creates jam, congestion and kills valuable time and causes unbearable hardships to its users. We bring this to the notice of the Dhaka City Corporation authority and urge it to expand the lane and remove the unauthorized and illegal shops from the two sides of the lane and make it convenient for the people who pay city corporation taxes and other government taxes on time. If the lane is expanded, private cars and wider vehicles will be able to move through it. It will reduce the traffic jam and congestion at the crossing of “RANGS SIGNAL” where hundreds of vehicles remain stranded for long hours every day.
