Many roads of Gulshan-Baridhara Diplomatic Zone have long been in dilapidated condition. Though the repairing of the roads have started about five months ago, the work is now being stopped for unknown reasons. The authorities of Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) need to take immediate steps to expediting the repairing work of the damaged roads without further delay.
The DNCC authorities have admitted their failure and said they would take step to repair the rundown roads in the city, particularly the most sensitive diplomatic zone, as early as possible.
Sources said like Gulshan-Baridhara, roads in other city areas such as Mirpur, Shyamoli, Jatrabari, Mohammadpur, Badda and Mowchak are also in dilapidated condition. Though the officials and contractors of both Dhaka City Corporations started repairing of in many city roads a long time ago, the development is now being kept stopped.
Saddam Hossain, a resident of Gulshan-Baridhara area, told The New Nation yesterday that they had been suffering immensely due to the bad shape of the road. They cannot move easily because the wind creates dust storm in the area.
The DNCC started the repairing work about five months ago. But they kept the work incomplete, he said.
A car driver said as it a sensitive area, they drive car very consciously. But the bad shape of the road is creating risk of accident every moment, he said.
