Save Dhaka

In consideration of its limited space, Dhaka, the metropolitan city has grown over-populated by this time. People from different parts of the country throng here every moment after. Recently the landless and illiterate ones are coming in a rush in prospect of some employment taking their shelters in the slummy parts of the city. Their number is increasing day by day.

One is made bound to be in Dhaka even for a petty problem the solution of which is quite possible locally in case there was the decentralization of powers in Bangladesh. The trend if rolls on the city will come out as an asylum of ‘madding crowd’. This horrendous situation shall bring forth frequent traffic jam, banishment of peace and harmony and above all an unhygienic environment.

Those have-nots staying in Dhaka combating an inhuman way of life should be handed over to their respective district authorities to rehabilitate them in their home areas on a pragmatic programme considered as mandatory. This may be materialized in aid of the NGOs. Centralized power of the government should be decentralized with an immediate effect in order to save Dhaka.
