Experts at an international conference held recently in Dhaka [পপপপপ পপপপপপপপ পপ

পপপপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপপপপ] have identified the lack of professionals at the
local government institutions [পপপপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপপপপপপপপপপপপপপ
পপপপপপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপপপপপ পপপপপপ] as a fundamental barrier to planned
urbanisation in the country. [পপপপ পপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপপ পপপপপ পপপপপ পপপপপপ]

As of now, out of the country's 328 municipalities, [পপ পপপপপপপপপ, পপপপপ পপপপপপপ] only
30 have a town planner each [পপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপপ পপপ পপপ পপপপপপপপ পপপপপ] and
there is not even a post for an architect.[পপপ পপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপ পপপপপপপ পপপপ
পপপপ পপপপপপ পপপপ]

No wonder [পপপপপপপপপ পপপপ পপপ] unplanned urbanization has been taking its toll on our
cities, especially Dhaka. [পপপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপ পপপপ পপপপপপ পপপ
পপপপ পপপপ পপ পপপপপপপ (পপপপ)]
Studies done by experts [পপপপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপপপপ] have also found that [পপপপপ
পপপপপপ পপ] only 20 percent of our qualified town planners [পপপপপ পপ পপপপপ
পপপপপপপপপপপপপপ পপপ পপপপপপপপ] are currently involved in town planning [পপপ
পপপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপপপপপ ] whereas each of the 172 first-category municipalities is
supposed to have one town planner.[পপপপপপ পপপপপ পপপ পপ পপপপপ পপপপপপপপপপ
পপপপপপপপপ পপপপপ পপপপ পপপ পপপপপপপপ পপপ পপপ পপপ পপপ পপ]

According to 1992 service rules, [পপপপ পপপপ পপপ পপপপপপপ] the local government ministry has
the power to appoint town planners and architects [পপপপপপপ পপপপপ পপপপপপপপপপ পপপ
পপপপপপপপ পপপ পপপপপপ পপপপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপপ] to the municipalities
[পপপপপপপপপপপপ.]

The ministry must use its decision-making power.

[পপপপপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপ পপপপপপপপপ]

At the same time, our municipalities and city corporations must be empowered with proper funds and
administrative authority.

[পপপ পপপপ পপপপপপ পপপপপপ প পপপপ পপপপপপপপপপপপপপপ পপপপপ পপপপ প

পপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপপপ পপপপ পপপপপপপপপ পপপপ পপপপ

Moreover, a national urban development council and a national commission should be formed
[পপপপপপপ, পপপপ পপপপপ পপপপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপপপ পপপ পপপপ পপপপপ পপপপপ
পপপ পপপ পপপপ] and a national urbanisation policy be made [পপপ পপপপ পপপপপ পপপপপপ
পপপপ পপপপ পপপ পপপপ] for effective functioning of the local government institutions,
[পপপপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপপপপপপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপ পপপপপপপপপপপ পপপপ] as
suggested by the experts.[পপপপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপ পপপপপপপপ]

Unless these basic demands made by the professionals are met,[পপপ পপপ পপপপপ পপপপপপপপ
পপপপপপপপপপপপপ পপপপ পপপপ পপপ পপ পপ] the government's initiatives to develop the
country [পপপপপপপ পপপ পপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপপপপপ] and achieve the sustainable
development goals [পপপ পপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপপপপপপপপপপ পপপপপ(পপপপপপপপপপপ)
] with regard to urbanisation, [পপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপপপ] are bound to fail. [পপপপপপপ পপপ
পপপপপপ]

For planned urbanization,[পপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপপ পপপপ ] we need comprehensive

planning.[পপপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপ]

And to do that,[পপপ পপপ পপপপপপপপপপ ] city planners, architects and the local government
institutions [পপপ পপপপপপপপপপ, পপপপপপপপ প পপপপপপপ পপপপপপ
পপপপপপপপপপপপপপপপ] must work in coordination. [পপপপপপপ পপপপ পপপ পপপপ
পপপপ]
Already, our capital city Dhaka has been ranked as one of the least liveable cities in the world.
[পপপপপপ পপপপপপপ পপপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপপপপপ পপপপপ পপপপপ পপপপপ
পপপপপপ পপপপপপপ পপপপপপ]

It is high time that we took steps for planned urbanization of our cities.

# A short history of a big deal

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's visit to India and the signing of 36 agreements of
cooperation ranging from the economic, defence and power sectors to the peaceful use of nuclear
energy shows that significant progress has been made in Indo-Bangla relations in the last eight years.
However, the stalled Teesta treaty continues to eclipse bilateral relations as water affects the lives of
ordinary people across vast spaces of land. It seems that in spite of the goodwill prevailing in Delhi, West
Bengal has become a thorn in Indo-Bangla relations.

Bangladesh shares 54 of its 57 transboundary rivers with India. After the Ganges, Brahmaputra and the
Meghna (GBM) river system, Teesta is the fourth largest river shared between the two countries. In
1983, an ad hoc water-sharing agreement allocated 39 percent of the water flow to India and 36 percent
to Bangladesh and the remaining 25 percent was left unallocated for a later decision. The Teesta river's
floodplain covers an area of 2,750 sq km in Bangladesh, supporting roughly 10 million people. An
estimated one lakh hectares of land across five districts of Bangladesh are severely impacted and face
acute shortages during dry seasons. Apart from livelihood directly obtained from the river, agriculture is
also affected as 14 percent crop production is dependent on the flow of the river. At stake are the lives
of millions of people of Bangladesh who depend on the river for their survival. Therefore, it is imperative
that the treaty provide equal allocation of the Teesta, a fair demand from the side of the lower riparian
Bangladesh.

the controversial section remains alive and well and is being increasingly used to file cases against
journalists.

The purpose of the Digital Security Act, 2016 is to address cybercrimes, and although we understand the
need for such a law, experts have time and again expressed concerns about the broad and vague
definitions in Section 57, giving scope for misuse and endangering freedom of speech and expression.

them being used to curb press freedom or having the scope to do so.

Korail slum (পপপপপ পপপপপ)

Break the syndicate stronghold (পপপপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপ)

The exorbitant rates (পপপপপপপ পপপ) which syndicates are charging for (পপপপ পপপপ) providing
illegal lines of gas, (পপপপ পপপপপপপ পপপপপ) power and water to inhabitants of Korail slum are
staggering, (পপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপ) and amount to extortion
(পপপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপ) of the most marginalised in the city. (পপপপপ পপপপপপপ
পপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপপপ) A report published in this paper on Monday highlighted that (পপ
পপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপপ পপপপ পপপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপপপ পপ পপ)
at least 20 such groups were engaged in this business, (পপ পপপপপ পপপপপপপপপ পপপপ
পপপপপ পপ পপ পপ পপপপ পপপপ) earning them Tk 1.5 crore a month. (পপপপ পপপ পপপপ
পপপপ পপ পপপপপ)

Officials have claimed that (পপপপপপপপপপপ পপপপ পপপপপপ পপ) drives against these
connections (পপ পপপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপপ) have failed to stop these elements.
(পপপপপপপপপপ পপপপ পপপপ পপপপপপ পপপপপপপ)

The number of connections, going into the thousands, (পপপপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপপপ পপপপপ
পপপপ) reveal (পপপপপপ পপপ) why they managed to thrive (পপপপ পপপপ পপপপপ) in the first
place: they are filling a gap that Wasa, Desa and Titas failed to fill. Therefore, these syndicates can get
away with charging ridiculously high prices (পপপপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপপপপপপপ পপপপ
পপপপ) for basic amenities, (পপপপপ পপপপপ-পপপপপপপ পপপপ) illustrated (পপপপপপ) by the
example of charging Tk 150 a month for providing five minutes of tap water per day. At the same time,
(পপপ পপপপ) the illegal gas lines they provide are safety hazards. (পপপপপপপপপপ পপপপপ) We
have seen cases of fires (পপপপপপপপপপ) that have broken out in the slum (পপপপপপপ পপপপপ
পপপপপ) due to these connections before. As with the collusion (পপপপ পপপপপপ) of utility officials
and law enforcement, there has been total denial, (পপপপপপপপ) even though sources have claimed
(পপপপপ পপপপ পপপ পপপপ পপপপপ পপ) paying from Tk 50,000 to 1 lakh to power office, Wasa
and law enforcement officials.

The issue of the Korail slum is not a new one. (পপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপপপ পপপ পপপপ পপপপ
পপ) There has been talk of evicting the inhabitants, (পপপপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপ পপপপ পপপ
পপপ পপপপপ) but that cannot be the solution (পপপপপ পপপ পপপ পপপপপপ পপপ পপপপপপ)
if their rehabilitation is not first ensured. (পপপপপ পপপ পপপপপ পপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপ পপপ
পপ) On the other hand, (পপপপপপপ) if the government provides these services free or at a nominal
price to the inhabitants, পপপ পপপপপপপপপপপ পপপপ পপপপপ পপপপপপপপপপ পপপপ
পপপপপপপপ পপপপপপ পপ পপপপপপ পপপ) it could solve the safety issues, (পপপপপপপপপপ
পপপপপপ পপপপপপ পপ) the stealing of public resources, (পপপপপপ পপপপপপপপ পপপপ) and
the criminal activities which are part and parcel of these rival groups. (পপপপপপপপপ
পপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপ পপপপ পপপপপপপপপপ পপপ) In any case
government resources are being appropriated by these syndicates (পপপ পপ পপপপপপপপপ
পপপপপপ পপপপপপ পপপ পপপপপপপপ পপপপপপপ পপ) that exploit the poor of the slum (পপ
পপপপপপ পপপপপপপপপ পপপপ পপপ) only because there is a vacuum.
(পপপপপপপপপপ/পপপপপ) Thus any solution must start from addressing that shortage. (পপপপপ /
