Bangladesh has taken on multiple megaprojects in the last decade or so. We know that these projects, when completed, will benefit citizens in numerous ways. However, does their construction phase need to cause such prolonged public inconvenience? Even after causing severe air pollution, unbearable traffic congestion, and several accidents—we see no meaningful reformation. I hope future megaprojects will be carried out under safer, cleaner, and responsible practices.
