No matter in which corner of the congested old city do they find eatables to their taste.
They do not mind walking through narrow streets of the city if they know that they can eat different types of ‘samosas’ and ‘pakoras’.
“A combination of crunchy samosa and hot chai is an all-time favourite snack. On a rainy day, nothing can match the deliciousness of a plate full of samosas and ‘pakoras’ gobbled down with a hot cup.

Development work of the Swadhinata Stambha (Independence Monument) project on Suhrawardy Udyan and Shahbagh Shishu Park in the capital has seen slow progress in the last three years despite the prime minister’s directive to quickly implement the project.
According to official documents, the project (third phase) started in January 2018 and was supposed to be completed by December, 2020 before the golden jubilee celebration of the country’s independence, but the progress of the project has got stuck due to negligence of the authorities concerned.
