1 | Bangladesh: Ugly and Deadly Billboards in Dhaka | Bangladesh: Takela-dokambarotra Ratsy Sady Mahafaty ao Dhaka |
2 | Almost 13 million people reside in Dhaka, the Capital of Bangladesh. | Mponina eo amin'ny 13 tapitrisa eo no monina ao Dhaka, renivohitr'i Bangladesh. |
3 | That is about 28000 people within a square kilometer. | Manana hakitroky ny mponina eo ho eo amin'ny 28000 isaky ny kilometra tsimivadimandry. |
4 | Air pollution, water pollution, and massive traffic jams are the usual challenges for them. | Rivotra maloto, rano maloto, fitohanan'ny fiara no fihantsiana hatrehin'izy ireo isan'andro. |
5 | According to the Environmental Performance Index 2012, conducted by American universities Yale and Columbia, Dhaka is the 31st most polluted city out of 132 cities across the world. | Araka ny tatitra avy amin'ny “Environmental Performance Index 2012” (Famantarana ny Fivoaran'ny Tontolo Iainana), tarihan'ny oniversite Amerikana Yale sy Kolombia, Dhaka no tanàn-dehibe faha-31 maloto indrindra amin'ireo tanàndehibe 132 manerana izao tontolo izao. |
6 | There are approximately 250 micrograms of dust in the air of Dhaka city which is five times the average. | Sahabo eo amin'ny 250 mikrograma eo ny vovoka manidina ao an-tanànan'i Dhaka, in-dimy avo henin'ny salanisa ankapobeny. |
7 | Besides this pollution, Dhaka's skylines are covered with commercial billboards, which block view of the sky. | Ankoatra ny loto, rakotra takela-barotra ny faravodilanitr'i Dhaka, ka manakona ny fijerena ny lanitra. |
8 | You will see large billboards of various companies everywhere. | Tazanao eny rehetra eny ireo takelaka lehibe an'ireo orinasa samihafa |
9 | Crippling the visual beauty of one of the most populated cities in the world, these billboards with ads pop up everywhere in the city! | |
10 | Image from Flickr by Ashiful Haque. CC BY. | Ao anaty tanànan'i Dhaka, mitombo 2500 ny isan'ny takelaka lehibe. |
11 | Inside Dhaka city, the number of large billboards has increased to more than 2500. | Saingy ny 300 amin'ireo ihany no nahazo fahazoan-dalana [bn] avy amin'ny Fiadidiana ny tanàna ao Dhaka. |
12 | But only 300 of them have permission [bn] from (Dhaka's) City Corporation. | Ivelan'ny arabe ny toerana hametrahana ireo takelaka, eo anoloana na eo ambonin'ny tafonà tranobe ary koa eny an-kalamanjana. |
13 | They are placed besides roads, on the front or roof top of buildings and in open spaces. | Mamaritra mazava tsara ny lalàna fa tsy tokony hihoatra ny 600 hakiho tsimivadimandry ny velarany, tsy misy manaja anefa izany. |
14 | Rules stipulate that the billboards should not be bigger than 600 square feet, which is also not followed. | |
15 | These oversized billboards decrease the beauty of the city and also hinder air flow. | Mampihena ny hankaton'ny tanàna ny refy tafahoatra amin'ny velaran'ireo takelaka ary manelingelina ny fivoivoizan'ny rivotra. |
16 | The advertisement -lust of big conglomerates is not only covering the faces of the city and its dwellers, but is also killing people. | Tsy ny endriky ny tanàna sy ny mponina ao aminy ihany no takon'ny dokambarotra manintona eny amin'ny tanàna hatreny amin'ny lalambe manodidina ny tanàna, fa mamono olona ihany koa. |
17 | Recently, two people died in Dhaka's Gulshan area when a billboard was uprooted by a storm. | Vao haingana, olona roa no namoy ny ainy tao amin'ny faritra Gulshan ao Dhaka raha nazeran'ny tafio-drivotra ilay takelaka. |
18 | A few pedestrians were also injured in the incident. | Nisy mpandeha tongotra vitsivitsy ihany koa naratra. |
19 | This type of incident is not rare, other people have died as well. | Efa imbetsaka ny karazana loza tahaka izao, izay nomoizan'ain'olona maro. |
20 | One statistics shows [bn] that 15 people had been killed in Dhaka from billboard related accidents. | Mampiseho ny statistika iray [bn] fa olona 15 no namoy ny ainy tao Dhaka noho ny loza aterak'ireo takelaka |
21 | Such large billboards are ubiquitous in Dhaka. | Nahita maso ny loza naterak'ilay takelaka tao Gulshan I Sujon. |
22 | Image by Sanaul Ahmed. | Hoy izy naneho hevitra tao amin'ny bilaoginy [bn]: |
23 | Used with permission. Sujon was a witness to the billboard accident in Gulshan. | Ny andro nianjeran'ilay takelaka tao Gulshan.. nijanona teo amin'ny 50 metatra teo aho…fahagagana ny tsy nahatratra ahy.. |
24 | He comments [bn] on a blogpost: | Kowshik nanoratra momba ny loza mahatsiravina niseho: |
25 | The day when the billboard at Gulshan 1 fell down.. | Eny amin'ny araben'i Dhaka ianao mahita ireo takelaka mahafaty mitsangana tahaka ireny barika fanaovan'ny miaramila sarinady ireny. |
26 | I was within 50 meters… (my) escape was a miracle.. Kowshik writes about this tragic incident: | Arahin'olona salama saina sy vatana ny fiaran'ny polisy, ny fiara mifono vy an'ny tafika na koa ny fitaovam-piadiana. |
27 | In Dhaka's street you will find deadly billboards standing like barrels from an army exercise. | Noho izany, tsy dia atahorana ho faty ny olona miaraka amin'izy ireo. |
28 | Police armored vehicles, army tanks or the trigger of a gun are controlled by sane people. | Na dia izany aza, mahita takelaka milanja vy aman-taonina ianao isaky ny arabe mifanapaka, izay tsy ilaina akory satria mamono olona. |
29 | So the likelihood of killing people with them is less. | Rivotra mifofofofo dia mety hampianjera azy amin'ny mpandeha tongotra sy ny fiara. |
30 | However, you will find large billboards weighing tonnes of metal standing at every crossroad, who need no order to kill people. | |
31 | Strong winds can cause them to collapse on pedestrians and vehicles. | Naneho ny ahiahiny i Kowshik fa raha mbola tsy esorina ireo takelaka ireo dia maro ny olona ho faty. |
32 | Kowshik has expressed [bn] concerns that if these billboards are not removed there will be more deaths. | Nanome baiko ny hanesorana ireo takelaka tsy ara-dalàna mitsangana ao an-tanàna ny Fitsarana Ambony tao Bangladesh vao haingana. |
33 | A common scene - billboards on buildings in Dhaka. | Saingy mbola te-hametraka ny baiko amin'ny ambaratonga mivelatra kokoa ny manampahefana. |
