My Road My Responsibility |
|---|
|
In Dhaka City 7.001 million (2008) people live within 815 square kilometer. The density of the population is too high. There is certain authority to look after the city. It is really tough for Dhaka City Corporation to maintain things properly. They are not technically sound, they also don't have enough skilled human resource that can uphold city image. There are lots of traffic in the road, they almost fail to maintain traffic on the road. There are sweepers who clean the road, but as a large number of population use the roads it?s definitely a hard job to keep them neat and clean.
Sometimes people dump wastage on the road. Most of the time it happens due to lack of awareness and responsibility. Sometimes it?s because of lack of enough dustbin around. But there is always hope. Hope for a better world. Volunteer for Bangladesh, the largest voluntary organization in Bangladesh initiated a project called ?My Road My Responsibility? on 27th September. This project was to raise awareness about keeping roads neat and clean.
A group of fifty volunteers chose an area to clean the roads. Volunteers gather early morning at 6 am at Dhanmondi-27 (area). Their main focus was to create awareness among the passersby. Volunteers motivated them for not dumping wastage on the road. Afiat Maisha an active VBD member said, ?We should not dump our waste on the road, this harms our environment and gives a bad impression to the world.? Yes, she was right. Dumping wastage in an open space creates harmful bacteria that is dangerous for human health. Volunteers taking part in cleaning

Beautiful initiative!
Good to know that young people are very committed to volunteering for such a good cause for Bangladesh.
It,sure,will inspire others to take a cue from what you have done and make Bangladesh not just clean, but environmentally friendly.

Three cheers for a job well done Asadullahil.
Kudos to "Volunteer for Bangladesh" for creating an awareness for cleaning the public areas.
I admire your initiative to share your food with these hard working street sweepers. They are a useful part of our society. You made them feel important, you made them feel part of the system. This deserves a loud applause.
Keep it up & thanks for motivating.

Thanks Asadullahil , for the report . If every resident starts considering the road as his responsibility(to maintain & keep it litter free) , then the roads , cities and the entire world would be the most neat and beautiful place to live and most of the problems would vanish. We should be mindful of our actions as our actions give the look to the city roads. Good job with this Clean Up & awareness event. With joint breakfast and sharing their work , you made street-sweepers feel important.
