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.

Although an escalator was installed to cross the footover bridge easily in Chairman Bari of Banani, it remains out of service day after day, forcing people to cross on foot. Photo: Mahmud Zaman Ovi
