I was really surprised to see a pile of construction materials heaped on the roadside in Moghbazar area, which was creating obstruction to pedestrians and hampering traffic movement. Keeping construction materials beside the road is a punishable offence according to our law as it creates obstruction to both people and traffic. The authority should keep roads and footpaths free from all obstructions if we want to make movement of pedestrians and vehicles smooth and uninterrupted.
It will also make the city look better, clean and tidy and reduce number of accidents largely. It will also save us from air pollution created by stacking construction materials here and there. The magistrates of mobile courts should visit roads more frequently and penalise the offenders. Dhaka city has already become a mega city with a population of about 160 million. We need to bring about positive changes to the city so that it wears the look of a world class city. It is high time we brought discipline in our city and made it clean and pollution free for its citizens.
