Mirpur is one of the few areas in the capital where people have to get stuck in waterlogged areas. The poor drainage system in this area shows that there is no escape from suffering even in the upcoming monsoon season.<\/p>\n
Not only Mirpur, but every year, fifty areas of the capital are caught in the grip of terrible waterlogging even with a little rain. In Dhanmondi-27, it can also be seen that dirt is accumulating at the mouth of the road drainage pipes. Dirt is accumulating in the manhole and the drain water is about to overflow onto the road.<\/p>\n
According to the calendar page, there are still at least two weeks left for the monsoon season to begin. Due to the influence of low pressure in the ocean, waterlogging has occurred in various places in the capital due to the rains in the last few days in Dhaka. Even though the water has receded from the main road, dirty water is still seen in various alleys. In such a situation, the question arises, if the residents of the capital have to get stuck in waterlogged areas in summer rain, then what will actually happen in the upcoming monsoon season?<\/p>\n
A young man named Jabbar said, “When water accumulates, two or three people come at one point to call the city corporation people. But they do not work according to their responsibilities.”<\/p>\n
A man named Litu said, “When I went home with water up to my knees, my wife did not let me in. When asked why, she said the water smelled bad.”<\/p>\n
Dhaka’s two city corporations spent three thousand crore taka in the past one era to resolve waterlogging. Even then, there was no benefit. In February this year, the interim government took the initiative to restore Dhaka’s canals again to resolve waterlogging. But the reality is different.<\/p>\n
Environment, Forest and Climate Advisor Syeda Rizwana Hasan expressed hope that the suffering will be less this time.<\/p>\n
She said, the drains of the two city corporations have started cleaning well in advance. If we can do anything else, besides deepening the bottom of the canals and cleaning the drains, we hope that the waterlogging will be less this time than in other years.<\/p>\n
Urban planner Professor Dr. Adil Muhammad Khan said, “Waterlogging can be resolved if canal rescue and drainage systems are brought into an integrated network along with planned urbanization.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
