Horrible condition of roads

Before Eid, the media was flooded with stories of the praiseworthy steps the government took to improve the poor road conditions of the country including Dhaka. But eventually, we found nothing satisfactory. Soon after the Eid, the authorities seemed to have stopped thinking about this serious issue, even when roads are going from bad to worse day by day due to monsoon. Especially, the areas where flyovers are under construction get clogged during and after rain.

The potholed, dilapidated conditions of the roads are the main cause of huge traffic gridlocks and immeasurable sufferings of the people. How long will we have to tolerate this? When will the authorities take measures to repair the roads? We don't want mere words; we want actions to take place.
