Sh*t. They are the worst when it comes to healthcare. Rapacious mafia that would maximise profit over everything.

Well let's hope we don't have to patronize them soon, then...

Couldn't possibly be worse than Indian management.

BRT to be linked to metro rail

The authorities have taken an initiative to connect two major projects -- MRT-6 and BRT -- through a "link service" between Diabari and House Building areas of the capital's Uttara.

The country's first metro rail -- formally known as Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) -- is being constructed from Diabari to Motijheel. On the other hand, construction works of the Bus Rapid Transit -- a dedicated bus service line -- from Airport to Gazipur is also going on. The line will go through House Building area.

Question remained how people will catch the metro leaving from BRT in House Building area easily and comfortably and how a metro rail passenger would reach the House Building area, which is around 1.5 kilometer from Daibari.

Need THIS! But everywhere in Dhaka city. Most of Dhaka city has similar types of building heights and roads (although not so straight and well designed) widths like this one. But they look like absolute sh*t compared to this. They can certainly be made to look at least somewhat closer to this if they cared enough for it. I can understand if its a money problem for rest of Dhaka city to look like this but at least they can clean up the roads, put signs and road markings everywhere, get rid of posters and rickshaws etc.

Civic sense and Civic pride is not present in areas where uneducated and crass people live.

It's not even a question of money. Look at certain areas in old Dhaka. These people have to realize slowly that sub-optimal living conditions are not acceptable, and band together to hire help to clean drains, clean waste channels etc. Change will come, but slowly.

People have to DEMAND better living conditions by force, or by threat of violence from their ward commissioners. That is not happening. Realization has to come first, and that push has to come from the citizenry. Ward commissioners have to be afraid of their people (their wards to be exact). Not the other way round.

Bangladesh is not Syria, we can affect change slowly but surely.
