Airport issue
We are all concerned about the high-rise buildings built with lot of money. I wonder why we do not think of the present location of the airport itself and how long it will serve the national interest. Small countries around are building more international airports to serve the national interests and we are doing all sorts of research with one airport. I understand there is plenty of low land on the northern side of the present airport.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh could verify how much land is available. If available, the land could be developed for extending the runway towards the northern side . This may help us to avoid the problem of removing the top floors of high-rise buildings for the time being. At the same time, we must think of building a new airport at a suitable place as Dhaka city will engulf Joydevpur and Savar areas very soon. We need a new airport.
