Build a citywide drainage system
West Kazipara is one of many areas in Dhaka that resembles the seashore after only a little rain. Sometimes during my commute to work, I have to fold my trousers over my ankles while wading through the filthy water. The water is so dirty that it looks totally black. I can only imagine the woes of my female colleagues.
Only if a proper drainage system existed in this city, the problem wouldn't have been so severe. We urge the authorities concerned to build a storm drainage system and recover the city's water retention areas to resolve this serious issue.
