Condition of Environment of Dhaka

Dhaka is one of the mega cities of the world. Its population has exceeded one crore. About 40% of its total population can't afford standard residence. They live to slums in miserable condition. They are not aware of health rules. They don't know habitat rights. Dhaka's traffic system leads to its everyday traffic jam. Its atmosphere receives several tonnes of harmful chemicals daily exhausting from vehicles. Dhaka's sky remains full of smoke almost 24 hours a day. Several lakes of are growing up leaving our lives to severe risk. The only river on which Dhaka stands is at stake. Majority of its banks is occupied by buildings and commercials. Its water is dangerously polluted threatening our environment seriously. There are very few open spaces, parks, playgrounds, lakes in Dhaka.


And our environment is not clean at all. Heaps of garbage dustbins are found here and there on roads and streets. There are some mills and factories in and near about the city. Malaria, influenza and recently dengue have become dangerous for our lives. All the citizens of Dhaka are living in a deadlock environment. If our dear Organization Greenpeace spreads its campaign to Dhaka, we all be highly grateful to you.
