Don't occupy the playgrounds
Just like other places in the city there is lack of playgrounds in Uttara. However, the youth in the area still manage to spend some time playing outdoor sports at places like Uttara Friend's Club. It is extremely disappointing to note that the open space in Uttara Friend's Club and also in Uttara Sector-11 park has been taken over to build stages for Durga Puja. This is unacceptable because the place is not reserved for political or religious programmes. Bangladesh is a country of religious harmony, and we would like to see a peaceful celebration of Durga Puja. But does that mean the youth will have to suffer? There should be some designated places to build stages for Durga Puja. This way the children will have to suffer no more.
