Gulshan Lake plots and bridges
The authorities responsible for Gulshan Lake - Rajuk / DCC have gone to great lengths to protect the people who bought illegal plots in the lake. Of course, corrupt employees have benefited which is why they want the whole matter to go away, it is up to the media to ensure that it doesn't. I think that both the buyers and the authorities need to be taught a lesson. All those plots should be cancelled without any discussion, so that buyers think twice before trying to grab lakes. The law enforcers need to immediately take a walk around the lake and take back the plots, dredging out any land filling. They also need to remove the shanty houses which are now filling land beneath them and building solid housing on top. We are yet to see the DCC and Rajuk doing anything about them, when our flower beds are being demolished for being one foot into the pavement with great vigour. The big crimes are being ignored, it just doesn't make any sense! As for filling in the lake for building the bridge, this is the most ridiculous thing I have seen, bridges can be built without filling in any land, we have many of them all over the country already.
The lake should be given to the Gulshan Society to manage, our authorities are completely useless and corrupt.
