Protect city's natural environment

Mashudul Haque, Dhaka
Dhaka, once termed as a city of mosques, has turned into a concrete jungle. The past grandeur of Dhaka with lush green trees, ponds, lakes and small creeks of rivers has been lost. The historic Dhaka city in the fifties and sixties used to be adorned with tall trees on both sides of the main roads. But now all the trees have been replaced with concrete buildings. It's time the government protected Dhaka's natural environment.
