The city of overhead wires.

What is one of the common things you will get to see in Dhaka? The answer will obviously is overhead wires. It's everywhere, the whole city is wrapped with millions of wires. Fortunately, they are mostly ethernet cables that's why the incidents are low in number.

This makes the city looks much more chaotic. Also, walking on the street, and seeing the sights are never fun only because of the wires. I don't know why the authority never takes any action!

Yesterday I went to the back for some paperwork. We had to wait at different traffic signals for more than half an hour. While sitting in the car I was seeing the city or maybe I should say wires.

There are uncountable numbers of wires everywhere. And the surprising thing is, this is one of the posh areas of our capital. In other areas, the situation is much worse.

Though there were some trees here and there. But the sun was really rough. We sure need more green than wires!

You may be thinking why so?

It's because it seems like nobody cares. There's a recent initiative to make another city overhead wire-free and it became amazing. I don't know when we will get to see such a thing in Dhaka.
Also, it's not very uncommon to see some incidents take place randomly; not much compared to the wiring system but still, we should take those numbers into the account.

Doesn't it make the city looks suffocating?

If we went to our balcony this is the exact view we get to see, overhead wires everywhere.

There could be an easy solution for it. Giving permission to any larger company/s to give ethernet connection. But no. People who are in the power of certain areas control the whole business, they don't allow others to get any connection with others. They have their internal clash, and never maintain much quality/rules, and we are the one who is suffering.

I really wish things will be different.
