Water logging pledges to be resolved
City Desk :
BNP nominee from Dhaka-5 constituency (Jatrabari and Demra) Md. Nabi Ullah has pledged to resolving infrastructural crises, water logging, and ensuring civic amenities, if elected in the upcoming Jatiya Sangsad polls slated for February 12. “I will work, in consultation with local residents, to address all problems including gas and water shortages, environmental pollution, traffic congestion, drugs, and the menace of juvenile gangs,” he said ahead of the polls recently.
Md. Nabi Ullah said, those who were members of parliament from this constituency in the past did not establish any significant government institutions. There are no adequate hospitals, public universities, sports grounds, or children’s parks.
Even with a small amount of rainfall, waterlogging occurs in our area. Since independence, no permanent solution has been implemented. If elected, I pledge to work with local residents to resolve these problems according to their needs, reports BSS.
The reality, however, is that because no adequate government institutions were established for a long time after independence, it will now take time to build them. If former MPs had set up even two government institutions each, many would exist here today. Now we must focus on implementing them.
Another major problem is the flyover. In the flyover areas of Jatrabari and surrounding localities, there is no provision for entry or exit for residents of Demra, Matuail, and Jatrabari.
Although this area is known as the eastern gateway to the capital, no beautification has been done. While the entrances to capitals around the world are attractive, seeing the gate to our capital makes it feel as though we live in a garbage city.
In addition, a new gas crisis has emerged. The people’s main demand now is the resolution of gas and water shortages. Residents of this constituency, adjacent to Dhaka, are not receiving gas and water properly.
I have met with the appropriate authorities to address this crisis.
Although there is little immediate scope for resolution at present, if the BNP comes to power in the future, these real-life problems will be solved.
Environmental pollution is another major issue in this area. Despite being the gateway to the capital, Jatrabari has turned into a filthy garbage city.
Most of Dhaka city’s waste is dumped here and has been piled up for a long time. If elected, I will adopt an integrated plan for waste management, environmental protection, and traffic congestion mitigation.
Jatrabari is currently infamous for traffic congestion. Vehicles from six divisions of the country use this route. Due to the lack of effective administrative measures, congestion is increasing day by day.
At the same time, drug traffickers are highly active. In the absence of elected representatives, the administration also appears inactive in many cases. If elected, I will permanently eradicate terrorism, drugs, and snatching.
