Bleak future of old Dhaka
Dhaka city is 400 years old and it is only recognised when one visits the old part of the city. Although it is the city heart but now it's in a very deplorable condition. The slums are increasing and footpaths are occupied by poor people. This part is endowed with architectural masterpieces like Lalbagh Kella and Ahsan Monjil, etc.
The City of Mosques has now changed into the city of rickshaws and the electric wires form a dense spider net. The roads are so narrow that even one car's movement becomes difficult. The roads contain so many holes that no vehicle can move smoothly, even at the slowest speed.
The situation must change for the better.
