Trouble of manholes
When will the manhole misery end across the city?
In 2022, a diplomat from the German embassy tweeted a brief message about a mishap he experienced due to an open manhole in Dhaka. That single incident prompted the covers to be fixed on open manholes in the upscale Gulshan area within hours. Such accidents are not new; they occur on a regular basis.
Trouble of manholes in the city must be resolved
Two years ago, a German embassy diplomat had a mishap with a manhole in Dhaka and posted a brief tweet about it. Within hours, the open manholes in the upscale Gulshan area of the capital were covered. Such small and major accidents occur frequently, and only when a major incident happens do the officials of the Dhaka City Corporation take action. However, over time, if no new incidents occur, the issue of repairing hazardous manholes goes unnoticed and reverts to its previous state. As a result, the longstanding nuisance of manholes in the city persists.
