Recently the Dhaka North City Corporation mayor Annisul Huq conducted a drive to free the roads inTejgaon area (occupied by illegally parked trucks) so that the commuters can commute hassle free. But during the drive, he faced strong resistance by the truck drivers and owners. It is obvious that the grabbers are very powerful and that's why they dared to show such audacity at the time of eviction. But the mayor did not step back and continued the eviction drive.

We, the city dwellers of Dhaka, should actively stand beside the mayor if we really want our city to be organised, clean, and jam free. We cannot be mere bystanders who do nothing, suffer and criticise everything later.
