Reducing city's population pressure
Bangladesh has an estimated population of 16 crore. Imagine how many people fit into this small country. It is really astounding. On the other side, look at the countries like USA, Canada and Russia. Their population is really low. Of course, Bangladesh is an overpopulated country and day by day its population is increasing. Let's take a look at Dhaka. We cannot even move around the city comfortably. We get stuck in unbearable traffic jam for hours. Most of the important government and private offices are situated in Dhaka. So every day thousands of people go to their workplace and this creates a huge traffic jam.
If some of the important offices are moved to some other districts such as Chittagong and Sylhet, then maybe traffic jam will decrease in Dhaka, because when the offices will be shifted to other districts, people will also move there. This will reduce the number of people in Dhaka.
I sincerely request the government to take some action for shifting some of the main offices to other parts of the country. I hope the government will take this into account and do the needful.
