Keeping city parks clean

Life in megacities like Dhaka may sometimes feel boring. With the hectic work schedule, blaring horns and incisive lights, it is very easy to get tired of the city life. So what can we do to relax and take a breath? Morning walk can come as a saviour. There are still a few parks in Dhaka city, where people go for morning and evening stroll. They also come to jog and do physical exercises.

These parks are, however, poorly maintained with only the exception of a few spots. These spots are well kept with regular sweeping by cleaners. The cemented benches around the parks remain dirty with bottles, papers, empty cigarette packets, etc. We request the authorities concerned to keep all the parks clean.
