Dhaka megacity
Over the decades, Dhaka, one of the megacities of the world, is getting populated by degrees. This is really an alarming news for the city dwellers as it creates manifold problems for them but everyone along with our government ignores the issue. The capital city has become the centre of all concerns officially, semi-officially or unofficially. Keeping this in mind, people from all walks of life rush towards Dhaka in search of better livelihood. Now, the population crosses over forty million and day by day it is increasing.
Another cause of this increase in population is the same capital city which is the hub of both administrative and commercial activities. This over population worsens the present condition of Dhaka city. To solve this deteriorating state, the government should segregate the commercial sector from the administrative one. The former one can be set up elsewhere outside Dhaka city. The place can be the commercial capital of the country and the administrative capital will be Dhaka. Thus the pressure on the capital city can be abated somewhat.
Now, government effort is needed to handle the issue successfully.
