The residents of Dhaka are fed up wasting valuable time on travelling from one place to another . People do not visit their relatives due to traffic congestion . Usually , it is a 15 -minute drive by bus to reach my office at Mohakhali from Mohammadpur in the early morning but coming back usually takes around one hour and a half, and sometimes more.I know one Jahanara who lives in Mirpur, Her younger sister Monoara, who lives in Shantinagar, has not visited her house for more than one year due to severe traffic jam.It is good news that Dhaka UNICEF office is going to be decentralised soon. I know two of my friends who have been working in UNICEF Dhaka office for more than three years. One of them has been transferred to Bogra and the other to Mymensingh , with UNICEF establishing regional offices across the country. Many national organisations working in Dhaka should be decentralised soon.
