Save Dhaka from air pollution
With the advent of winter, smog has started to engulf the sky of Dhaka. Dust from the ongoing development projects, black smoke from vehicles and other sources have been polluting Dhaka’s air in such proportions that it has become unsuitable for breathing. It was reported that Dhaka’s air remained unsuitable for breathing for more than half of last year. This year, the situation seems to have aggravated more. So, in order to make Dhaka a habitable city, the authorities concerned should take strict measures, such as, restricting the operation of diesel-run vehicles inside Dhaka, shutting down brick kilns on the outskirts of the city, etc. It is high time the government woke up to the reality and took action to fight air pollution.
