On the footpath next to the General Post Office in the capital, Sohel Howlader sells children’s clothes from a small table.
Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Mayor Annisul Huq gives shop owners a 7-day ultimatum to free illegal occupation of footpaths and roads.
The picture of a footpath in Farmgate published in our paper yesterday spoke a thousand words and aptly describes the woes of the pedestrians in the streets of Dhaka.
Have you got the perfect apartment and decorated it to your taste, but still feel that something is missing to bring it all together? Maybe you need a portrait of yourself or your dear one on the wall.
If you are told: Name a city where you can drive or walk as you like, the first answer would be Dhaka! Because people find their own ways to go around the city. Traffic signals change colors—from green to red to green again--but the drivers need not pay any attention to them. But even worst menaces are motorcycles zooming by on the footpaths or people darting through the speeding cars to cross the roads among the already chaotic traffic.
