The New Nation - Internet Edition

Traffic on the Mirpur road has increased tremendously. It's getting more and more difficult and risky to cross this road by the students of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Khaleda Zia Medical College and the patients/visitors coming to the govt. hospitals located in the area. A number of pedestrians have already met the tragic end of their lives while crossing this road!

Hence installation of a foot-bridge at College Gate become extremely essential.

I draw the attention of the relevant authority.

Is this a problem?

There is a garbage container stationed at the entrance of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, ATI, and Govt. Hospitals on Mirpur road (College Gate) which is constantly polluting the air and the overall environment of the area by releasing poisonous biogas and filthy liquids. This garbage container is the home for dangerous hospital wastes as well as domestic refuges.

We tried all channels to make the relevant authority move this dirty bin elsewhere but with no result! Now a question comes to one's mind while passing through the path putting handkerchief on nose--Is this really a problem?
