Why do cities flood whenever it rains
Previously, newspaper headlines would read: "Chittagong submerged after a day's rain," "Sylhet city flooded after a night's rain," "Dhaka city inundated after a day's continuous rain." Now, it doesn't even take a whole day of rain. An hour of rainfall is enough to flood the cities. This year, the monsoon hasn't even started in full force. Yet, with the occasional rain we’ve had, reports of flooding in the three major cities have already come in.

Why Dhaka mayors fail to keep promises
When it comes to discuss about Dhaka, the city dwellers give complicated views. They find it difficult to live here and in the meantime they must stay here because of various reasons.
Dhaka is turning into a death trap
Due to unplanned urbanization, Dhaka is increasingly becoming a death trap. Firstly, to cope with the pressure of a huge population, Dhaka's air and water are becoming contaminated. Secondly, many residential buildings in Dhaka are highly vulnerable. The majority of these buildings are constructed without proper approval from Rajuk or any organizations. Consequently, at any time, any type of disaster can occur.
Is there no escape from road excavation for the residents of Dhaka?
When the monsoon comes, road excavation starts in the city of Dhaka. This time, the rain arrived earlier than usual. Regular rainfall has been occurring since the beginning of March. In various areas around Dhaka like Mohammadpur, Mirpur, Dakshinkhan, Motijheel, and Wari, road excavation has already begun. Due to the road digging, the environment for vehicle movement on the roads diminishes. As a result, intense traffic congestion is observed on one side, while roads become muddy on the other. Because of the potholes, pedestrians often find themselves walking on muddy paths, leading to a return home covered in mud.
