Benefits of walking
I lost much weight during my stay in the national university for training, simply because vastness of the Bari Bhaban where we stayed made us to walk long distances. Besides, the wide paths edged with different kinds of trees and flower gardens facilitated our walking. But once at home after training, I started to gain weight and now I feel heavy simply because here I have almost no facility for walking, as roads in my locality are occupied by small businessmen and unlicensed vehicles.
Walkability has immense benefit as it among others reduces cancer and crime through reducing carbon emission and wider social interactions. So we hope government will consider this aspect of walking for the sake of health, economic and environmental benefits of the people and the country.
