The name Dhaka has become a synonym for dust and allergies. The residents of this metropolis grapple with this menace almost all year long, except for e few months during the monsoon, with the hope that they would be relieved of the dust-related respiratory problems in the coming year. Years go by, but the situation only worsens without any visible initiative taken by the authorities. The photos of a dusty road in Kajla area near Jatrabari in the capital was taken recently.
