No zebra crossing!
Dhaka is perhaps the most ill planned, mismanaged, problematic, crowded, congested and dirtiest capital city in the world.
There is no approved Master Plan for Dhaka city. Residential buildings, government offices, schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, clinics, parks, medical stores, judges' courts, police stations, post offices, banks, wholesale and retail markets and shops, cinema halls, stadiums, mills, factories, mosques, temples and churches, railway and river stations, bus terminals and bus stops newspaper offices, hotels and restaurants and so and so forth have been built and set up whimsically all over old and new Dhaka on both sides of innumerable narrow roads, lanes and by-lanes.
Millions of pedestrians of all ages, men, women and children, cross the roads at almost any point, facing the running vehicles, as there is no zebra crossing in most places.
It unbelievable that there are only 4-5 zebra crossings all over Dhaka city.
Would the authorities concerned kindly look into the matter
