Inauguration of mobile playground for children in Old Dhaka

Although projects like Metrorail, Flyover, and Elevated Expressway have been included in the development plan of Dhaka city, no new playgrounds, parks, or open spaces are planned. On the contrary, the open spaces, playgrounds and parks are being occupied in the name of development. As a result, there are not enough opportunities for playing and socialization. Therefore, it is possible to solve this problem by stopping the traffic for some time on the less-used or unused roads within the community and organizing small-scale children's games. In this case, an community-based mobile playground will play an important role as a timely solution.  

Today, December 23, 2023, at 03:00 PM, with cooperation of the Ward no 23 Councilor Office of Dhaka South City Corporation and the joint initiative of HealthBridge Foundation of Canada, Hossain Uddin Khan (Kaliwala Ghat) Nawabganj residents and Work for a Better Bangladesh Trust, a mobile playground was inaugurated on the 2nd lane of Nawabganj. Dhaka South City Corporation's first mobile playground was inaugurated by Haji Md Maqbul Hossain, Ward No. 23 Councilor of Dhaka South City Corporation. Every Saturday from 3.00 PM to 5.00 PM, painting, crafting, chess-ludu-carrom-rope, badminton etc. activities will be organized in this mobile playground.

Besides, Senior Project Manager of Work for a Better Bangladesh Trust Ziaur Rahman, General Secretary of Ward 23 of NASF Md Salim Azam and social worker Md Tajul Islam were also present as guests.
