Waterlogged Dhaka during monsoon

Waterlogging is a very common problem in Dhaka during the rainy season. Ordinary people's sufferings know no bound during this time. Sometimes it becomes almost impossible to move from one place to another as the roads become flooded with water. A few hours' rainfall makes city life unbearable. Despite such conditions of the city, no proper step has yet been taken. Every year during the rainy season, respective authorities promise to provide solutions but those promises are never fulfilled. Waterlogging creates massive tailbacks which make situations even worse. This can't go on. The government and responsible authorities are liable to people as people pay their taxes. 

Recently city-dwellers got two newly elected mayors. People have a lot of expectations from them. We hope proper and effective steps to solve this problem will soon be taken.
