Illegal establishments including shops have been built encroaching on playgrounds and roads. Residents of the ward are plagued by various problems including severe gas and water shortages, useless street lights, mosquito infestation, stray dogs, auto-rickshaw violence, slow development, illegal security gates, silent extortion and camp-based drug dealing.

It can be seen from the ground that the canal area from Muslim Bazar No. 12 in Mirpur to the journalist residential area has been encroached upon and piles of garbage and rubbish have accumulated. Continuous rain has filled the canal, creating waterlogging. The garbage and rubbish in the canal is floating in the water of the road. In many places, the dirty water of the canal has entered the houses. The color of the water has turned black. Mosquitoes are flying in this water. The canal encroachment at the end of Road No. 15 and 17 in Muslim Bazar is gradually disappearing.

The large drain from South Dweep

Line 8 to Mirpur DOHS is full of garbage and garbage. Most of the drain slabs have been stolen. Since the drain and canal area are not cleaned regularly, permanent waterlogging occurs even with a little rain. Locals said that the area of ​​Kalshi, 12th B, C, E and Dh blocks gets flooded even with a little rain. The only community center and entertainment centers in the ward are in a bad condition for a long time. There has been no gas connection in Ward No. 2 Community Center for a long time. The paint on the inner walls of the center is peeling and the plaster is falling off. The environment of the toilet is dirty and full of garbage and garbage around. The only places for entertainment, the Eidgah field of 12th D block and the red field of 12th have become unfit for playing due to lack of renovation. There are big holes around the field.

Whenever it rains, water accumulates

in these holes. The entire field is muddy. Many times, political rallies and fairs take over the field. In the afternoon, illegal establishments including floating shops take over the perimeter of the field. Drug addicts and juvenile gangs hang out until late at night. Meanwhile, the security gate in this ward is kept closed under the pretext of security. Many times, people cannot leave their homes for emergencies. Fire service, ambulances and electric vehicles cannot enter for emergencies. The security gate of Mirpur 12 A and B blocks has become a thorn in the side.
