Beggars back on streets!


Beggars are back on the streets and Dhaka is now once again the dirty, filthy city it was before the ICC World Cup. So do Bengalis exist just to impress foreigners? Don't the people of Bangladesh have any value in the eyes of the government? It goes to show that if the government wants to, it can take the necessary steps to eliminate beggars from the streets and keep the city clean.
So what do we need to do now? Maybe we should have the world cup all year round in order to keep beggars off the streets and keep the streets clean! Before coming to power, the government had promised that begging and poverty would be alleviated. They must keep their promise!
