What a local community can do?

FOUR years since the Nimtoli chemical fire disaster, people of the locality can heave a sigh of relief topped up by a sense of achievement , at long last!  Nimtoli, once dotted with chemical factories disguised as rented spaces in a densely populated residential area is now free of chemical stores or, factories for that matter.
This is a  miracle of a success by our standards : Where despite the routine blowing of hot air after a human tragedy  the dusts settle down as resolute commitment by authorities ,that too nudged by court orders, tend to fizzle out.
But here is an example of a determined community at Nimtoli resisting letting out any space to those storing inflammable material, or surreptitiously running a chemical factory.After an unswerving pursuit of the cause for years, they have been able to force out the extremely hazardous stores or factories and resist setting up any new ones.
The moral of the story is that when a community unites behind a civic cause,be it public safety or delivery of legitimate service to tax payers,it is eminently achievable.
Nimtoli success needs now to be replicated;for, there are plenty of areas in old Dhaka having chemical warehouses and hazardous chemicals lying strewn without precautionary measures in place.Unless these are cleared of the dangers,many souls would be at grave risk.
