Realizing small but important changes

The country is in the dire circumstances with the crisis looming all over and the citizens have hardly any respite from any angles. Governments after governments have changed and now political system has changed, but the citizens have hardly felt the government’s concern for them.
The new government has been repeatedly assuring the public that they will make the citizens feel the changes in the coming days but it hasn’t taken place as yet. Government may be busy in bringing out the ordinances in order to address the grievances from different angles. But, implementing them is also a serious challenge today.
Therefore, now parallel attention for constitution making as well as construction & development is vital because the standstill in reconstruction would be disastrous because constitution-making will take a longer period and crisis need to be tackled with urgency.
Every country, whether its developed or underdeveloped face the massive migration to the big cities and mostly the capital city. Outs case is also no exception. Governments and municipalities need to strictly enforce the rule, regulations and equally concerned to the management of the city. Physical, constructural infrastructure is the most important and visible factors/ways to gain the support of the citizens and can serve as a life-saving drug to the crisis stricken citizens. Widening the roads, cross- roads, management of pavement, concretizing and working on environment are of tremendous urgency today. Public has been curious where do the allocated fund goes because we very rarely see such activities until today. There are many places where if the authorities acted to broaden the roads and streets, the traffic would be smooth and hassle free. It should act upon constructing underground and above ground parking areas jointly with the private-public partnership. It can generate the revenue from that initiative.
First of all the government should act because it has the implementing capacity and resources and then ask for the public support. The desire for change is essential and only then the dream task to make that desire a reality comes later. The public doesn’t want the government to fulfill the unjustified and big desires now at least in this period. They desire the small and one day those small initiatives with multiply into the bigger ones.
