Pollution, foul odour make Hatirjheel a turn-off for visitors, commuters

Just a few years ago, Hatirjheel’s four terminals used to serve nearly 50,000 passengers a day. Today, the number has dropped to around 20,000 — a 60% decline

Despite its status as a high-profile city artery, Hatirjheel's 8km circular road is riddled with potholes and non-functional streetlights, as shown by this struggling car and ambulance on Tuesday. The poor maintenance turns the road into a perilous, visibility-poor trap after dark and in the rain, demanding immediate repair. Photo: Md Jahidul Islam
