Accelerator of footover bridge in disrepair

The accelerator of the footover bridge near Dhaka’s Banani and the airport is in a dilapidated state. The iron sheet and handle have been removed, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated on the accelerator steps. Meanwhile, a new accelerator is being built on DIT Road near Aftabnagar.
