Stepmothers and godfathers
Abu Abd, Dhaka
The Dhaka metropolis planners are bogged down with the inflated (self-created) problems of the city, mainly in the day to day management and administration, and in the implementation of the approved schemes. The situation is aggravated with the so-called back-door unauthorised services performed for self benefit.The government is active on other fronts, but rather evasive in initiating reforms of Rajuk (modernising and restructuring, to start with), which are long overdue. Two of the greatest weak points in running the metropolis are Rajuk and the DCC (city corp). Dhaka will continue to be flooded with lakhs of daily visitors unless decentralization is introduced through parliamentary enactments. There is no visible move to discourage the growth of slum areas in the city. Visit any other divisional HQs, and note the difference in official activities. Why the districts are deprived of their due share in running local official business? Dhaka city has many stepmothers and godfathers, who are sucking the public resources. Have the concerned ministers have something NEW to say? We are bored listening to the cliches.
