It is very frequently noticed in the urban areas of Dhaka that some people are clearing clogged sewerage pits, pushing through long bamboo sticks and often removing night soils by pulling these up from the underground sewerage lines. The unfortunate, nasty and most threatening thing is that the people are leaving the liquid soils over on the road without bothering to clear the spots, while the City Corporation sweepers are also not removing the waste. Thus the leftovers are being carried in the wheels of the running vehicles and disappearing. What a good natural process!!
While all the Dhaka city house owners and dwellers are paying the full cost of water consumption as charge for sewerage, in such a position the task of safe clearing of sewerage waste must be attended with due care. Otherwise, Dhaka dwellers are gradually becoming the victim of irresponsible service organisations and illiterate people who are involved in clearing clogged sewerage pits.
Relevant service organisations should come forward for safe clearing of clogged sewerage lines.
