Rain in the capital has increased the suffering of city dwellers

The capital has been suffering extremely due to continuous rain since the beginning of the day. City life has practically come to a standstill due to incessant rain since the morning. The common people of Mirpur area are suffering the most.

The main roads of Mirpur-10, Mirpur-1, Kazipara, Sheorapara and the surrounding areas have been flooded with knee-deep water, creating long waterlogged roads. Office-going people and ordinary passengers are suffering due to this. Bus and rickshaw fares have increased several times. As a result, the financial pressure of working people has also increased.

The waterlogging has caused traffic jams, disrupted vehicle movement and school-going students are also in trouble. Local businessmen have been affected by water entering shops in many places. The city dwellers have alleged that the waterlogging caused by a little rain is a major failure of the City Corporation.

Dhaka North City Corporation officials said work is underway to resolve the waterlogging. However, they admitted that a quick solution is not possible without a long-term plan.
