Contain sound pollution
Noise pollution in Dhaka is becoming unbearable, it is almost as big a problem as scarcity of water and power failures, but it doesn't receive any attention from the authorities. There is a simple solution: ban all hydraulic horns and loudspeaker use between 11:00pm and 7:00am, ban the use of cutters on Fridays in residential areas, all cutters should be used within the building and not on the pavement or street, have better traffic control, so that people don't need to use their horns so often.
This means that they need a task force to go around and fine the institutions using loudspeakers and drivers using hydraulic horns within these hours. This will be very popular with the people.
