Small Initiatives

Every country, either developed or developing, undergoes substantial migration towards their capital city and our case is also not an exception. But maintaining capital city’s outlook is equally of high significance. It should animate an example of cleanliness, civil security, and superior quality of facilities, infrastructures and sense of strong presence of the government is vital.
However, we see the grim picture if we see the development of other countries. The constructural infrastructure projects are virtually non-existent in the capital today. For more than half a century hardly any new roads are constructed. Hardly any reconstruction or renovation projects have been noticed in the main city streets for decades. It’s a big surprise that why authorities are in such a defunct state! Why every aspects of development are influenced by political mayhem. Public are trapped in heavy traffic jams for hours everyday. The situation is too critical due to narrow, filthy and congested roads. Unregulated constructions, parking have further intensified the congestion of roads. Why the authorities don’t take initiatives such as construction of underground parking bays? Government can at least build an environment so the private players & investors can come!
New & big road extension projects may be unviable due to high economic cost but authorities are not concerned even repairing/renovating tiny, dusty, filthy roads and cross- roads. However, they are always ready to attain international conferences related with the subject like environment, urban management etc. Why authorities are in such a deep slumber? Is it due to lack of knowledge, skill, will or something else?
Small street-expansion and widening projects support the traffic to be lot smoother. For that we can utilize the space above the sewer-line at both the sides of road can add huge space hence increase the road size. For any such successful initiatives, first of all, the government should bring out plans then it can invite the private players & ask for public support. The desire for positive change is important but authorities are too rigid to have even such dreams. The public also do not expect the government to fulfill their gigantic expectations at this transitional period but desire at least such small initiatives. The tasks of drafting new constitution as well as fulfillment of people’s long-awaited aspirations should go parallel. People can not tolerate if both of their hands are empty at last.
