Damaged road
At first this place had no significance at all, compared with the other areas of Dhaka city. Despite being near the very important Zia International Airport and being right to the opposite of the well planned Nikunja, Khilkhet has long been neglected and failed to get the attention of the city developers.
Fact is, after the construction of Lake City, many families have started living here. Plenty of new people are yet to come as more buildings are to be built. Moreover, the evacuation of Dhamalkot and Vashantek Bastis caused many people to come around here. People who came here in the past would feel the difference. But that is not the problem, the problem is that there is only one way for this huge number of people. Flood visited this area in 1998 and also in 2004 and caused tremendous damage to the road.
We hope the authorities concerned will devise some ways and means to improve the road condition here.
