Dirtiest Dhaka in 40 years
Photo: STAR
Please have mercy on those who have to commute into or through Dhaka city. Dhaka for the last three/four months has been the dirtiest ever! A lot many times there has been pictures printed in the DS as well as in many other newspapers. Yet there is absolutely no action! This inaction, and couldn't care less attitude is intolerable and killing the people. The sight and stench and blocking of the road coupled with terrific traffic jam is the blessing we are all living with. No one road in Dhaka today is without the beautiful sight and 'aroma' of waste. Each and everyone is the victim of such condition. We really do not know what are the waste management authorities doing and what are their answers. Waste is seen to be removed between 8am and 11am -- prime time for people to move for work. Nowhere in the world is this done at this hour of the day. The waste is allowed to rot into stinking liquid posing serious health hazard! The honourable High Court may please look into this basic problem and issue order to professional to arrange for timely and proper disposal of wastes. I have no more words to express my disgust at this inaction and un-professionalism. The most incompetent people are in the chair to sleep over this.
