Chittagong city is drowning

Life has come to a standstill for the people of Chittagong. We are passing our days in unbearable sufferings as the city drowns. This is mainly a result of the inefficiency and negligence of those who are in charge, but who alas seem to be least bothered about keeping the city in a good condition. Drains and canals have become clogged due to garbage and unauthorised construction work. The roads have become narrow with land-grabbers taking over the space on either side. It cannot go on like this. The authorities must do whatever is necessary to salvage this horrible situation immediately.
