Over-bridge in front of IDB Bhaban needed
As you are aware, IDB Bhaban at Agargaon housed major UN agencies of the country plus a good number of other offices. It also housed the first biggest computer market (known as Computer City) of the country. Quite a good number of people work in the building and it also receives a large number of visitors daily. Thousands of customers visit the computer city on business purposes. A government secondary school (which is also turning into a college from 2012-2013 academic session) is situated on the southern side of IDB Bhaban where a good number of students are attending daily. The road in front of it stretching to Mirpur and Pallabi is now getting extremely busy with vehicular traffic (e.g. rickshaws, vans, auto rickshaws, cars, buses, covered vans and trucks) and people find it extremely difficult and hazardous to cross the road to find transport back home after their office work, business and school. A number of accidents took place while crossing the road.
Therefore, it is our earnest request to the authorities concerned to build a pedestrian foot over-bridge in front of IDB Bhaban to ensure safety and security of the students of that school and the people who come to IDB Bhaban for business purposes.
