Needed: small park
The residents of Shaheenbag, Nakhalpara, Teskonipara and Arjotpara under Tejgaon police station have very little scope to reach some open field to walk. Children are the most deprived group. So, the majority people have to spend their afternoon at home. Their rooftops are the only hope to meet the requirement. Regular exercise through sporting activities is important for both mental and physical growth of children. We think it is their civic right as well. Besides, the rates of diabetes and hypertension are significantly alarming in the city. So, walking is a must for everyone as suggested by the physicians.
In fact, there are small parks in some posh areas in the city. In view of that can we request our present government to set up a small park in our area. After relocation of Tejgaon airport, some areas near the Mohakhali flyover and DGDP office are still unutilised. This area is an ideal place for a small public park. Additionally, it may be a part of beautification work of the adjacent flyover and as an entry point to Dhaka town it will give a good sight to the foreign guests as well.
Hope the government and Dhaka Cantonment authorities will consider it sympathetically.
