Although Tuesday’s accident at Azimpur -- which killed schoolboy Zihad Hossain after a wall collapsed on him -- captured the public’s attention, this has been a long-standing problem all across the city. For example, right beside Azimpur at Palashi Residential Area, there are similar tilted walls, which might collapse anytime and spell disaster for unsuspecting pedestrians. This photo was taken yesterday.
