Intersection at Khilkhet
Needless to say, Dhaka is an unplanned city with worst traffic jams. Probably it would take many more decades for our present and future governments to focus more on the development of infrastructure to deal with traffic mismanagement. To ease traffic congestion, authorities build intersections mostly in VIP areas overlooking others. For example, there is no intersection at Khilkhet area on the airport road.
Students and service holders regularly face problems to get a CNG or taxicab to go to their destination. It is because there is no intersection in the area. The CNG or cab drivers do not want to go to Khilkhet or demand exorbitant fare showing the cause that they have to take a detour via airport intersection reach Khilkhet. As a result, patients and elder people suffer. This area needs an intersection urgently. We urge the authorities concerned to immediately build an intersection at Khilkhet to mitigate the sufferings of tens of thousands of residents of this area.
