Old Dhaka

The old town area was the main part of Dhaka 50 years back. But now its condition is terrible. The roads are so narrow that two cars cannot pass at a time. The shops and hotels occupy the roads. In many footpaths there are holes and the drains are open and many are in such deplorable condition that it become hard to walk through even. The markets here in old town contain no parking spaces. As a result, most of the time the roads face traffic jam. The roads are broken. The manholes are open which is very dangerous and everyday accidents are occurring. The dustbins are on the road and are so smelly that one cannot walk straight. Even the buildings are made without any plan and design.
I would request the government to rebuild the town and remove the hazards that Old Dhaka people are exposed to.
