Tracking Traffic Issues | Dhaka City

Summery: According to the World Population Statistics  the current population [ September, 2013 ] of the city of Dhaka, Bangladesh is estimated to be about [7,001,000 ] which is about equal to the last record of the population. Dhaka is actually the capital city of Bangladesh and is considered to be one of the major cities of all of South Asia. The city is considered the largest in all of Bangladesh and the overall metropolitan area is the 9th largest city in the entire world. Based on the total land area and the total population of the city, the population density of Dhaka is about 50,001 people per square mile.

Dhaka city’s traffic congestion problem has assumed  alarming proportions. A drive from Kamalapur to Mirpur or Uttara to New Market is a painful experience. The journey from home to office or business center takes away vital hours from work.The capital’s messy traffic management system is manually handling around 3,000 traffic polices round the clock.

As a photojournalist work on the road in Dhaka City, tracking traffic issues check back Dhaka City Traffic pages with your valuable commentary and sharing experience which we every day suffer and anticipating a good solution as a citizen of Dhaka.

Yes, it’s a long experience journey for wondering wisdom. Our final project is highly appreciated from the Academics of BRAC & PATHSHALA.

Finally, I congratulate to John Stanmeyer for his beautiful and brilliant picture, to get awarded the WORLD PRESS PHOTO of the year,to me it’s appear in a new look with a great notice and message, thanks to approach this kind of work to us, and thanks to the World Press Photo to Honor him . . .

Caption: African migrants on the shore of Djibouti city at night, raising their phones in an attempt to capture an inexpensive signal from neighboring Somalia—a tenuous link to relatives abroad. Djibouti is a common stop-off point for migrants in transit from such countries as Somalia, Ethiopia and Eritrea, seeking a better life in Europe and the Middle East.

John Stanmeyer Expression :

Humbled. Honored. Speechless. Thank you to all for your kind words.

Have been asked countless times today what this photograph, Signal, means to me. While standing on the shores of the Red Sea that evening in Djibouti City, it felt as if I was photographing all of us — you, me, our brothers and sisters — all desperately trying to connect to our loved ones. In this tenuous period of human migration where despair and hope simultaneously intertwine, we seek to find comfort, a sense of balance, a desire to be home, reconnecting to something stable, reassuring. This photograph of Somalis trying to “catch” a signal is an image of all of us as we stand at the crossroads of humanity, where we must ask ourselves what is truly important, demanding our collective attention in a global society where the issues of migration, borders, war, poverty, technology and communication intersect.

I received a phone call from my colleague Kamol da, he said Monir bhai, at this moment I know one news, a number of birds recovered from Mirpure area now that birds at Ban Vhaban Wildlife and Nature Conservation Circle of frost department at Mohakahli Dhaka.

I start to move from my house into the Ban Vaban, locally popularity name,  today’s is holiday for Janmashtami so the city road is not too rush, I smoothly drive my motorcycle  and went there in time.

I am really upset to see of them, more than two hundred birds on the kept three cages and left on the floor in front of the Ban Vhaba. All most birds are look’s very poor condition. I saw two parrots already died and rest of them were dozing and a few as well as good. I think it may be the long journey or not to friendly environment, or whatever who to know.

I took several pictures with video all of them, and again observe very closely. A few of bird’s color is quite good but rest of them lost their color’s and become sick,they shout and try to escape form the cages but failed and some one is fights each other, some bird’s looking me as very angry mood, I don’t know why?

After completed to taking pictures, than I make a interview with Dhaka Wild Life Crime Control Unite who was present in the rescue time, his name is Salek Ahmed Mollah, assistant range forest officer in Dhaka Sadar.

He said after our secret information, we stay in Abdullahpur embankment and then further inform, we move to  bas terminal at Gabtoli and then follow him his CNG drove from Gabtoli to Mirpure, But somehow the trader doubting us and then dump the cages into the road at Mirpur 13, and then he escaped after that we size all birds.

According to the Wild Crime Control Unite of the forest Department, Their team recovered 220 birds, 142 were Indian Hanging Parrots, 70 Black-headed Munias,6 Rose Ring Parakeets and 2 Blossom-headed Parakeets. Wildlife and Nature Conservation Circle of frost department Dr. Tapan Kumar Dey said, Among the birds were set free at Bangabandhu Safari Park in Gazipure after suggesting of Veterinary surgeon and wild life expert.
