Leisure time at Turag River and Aminbazar bridge || Gabtoli, Dhaka
Steemian friends,
In this busy city, all around there is only noise, sound pollution, and air pollution. The whole city seems to be full of pollution. And amidst this, there are small lakes which are mentally soothing places.

And in this lake you will see people of thousands of colors. Some are old, some are young, and some are running here being sick. Mainly because of diabetes, they have to walk like this every morning and evening.
Today the place where I went alone after office hours, that place is called Gabtoli Aminbazar bridge. Currently the place where I am now is Daltia Kalampur Dhamrai. From this place to Gabtoli Aminbazar bridge it costs 70 Taka in Selfie Bus.

Road map of every street
I left my office and came by car. After arriving where I got off, road signboards were given like this. Then where you want to go or in which direction you want to go, every road map is given like this in the east side road, and in the west side road also like this.
From Gabtoli, it will take three to four minutes by walking to reach the bridge.

Aminbazar bridge
From a distance and through the camera, the bridge looks amazing. If the full bridge view cannot be seen, then mainly it doesn’t feel good. You have to see and go near to feel it properly and spend every moment of that place.
On both sides of the bridge, beauty has been created like this which has become a reason for visitors’ walking pleasure. On the opposite side of the bridge, that is, attached to the bridge, there is a small lake. Through here people will move around, walk, and enjoy the river view. They will thank Allah for His blessings.
This road used to remain congested with traffic almost all the time, but now Alhamdulillah it is quite accessible. Because the bridge has been widened to eight lanes. This bridge is one of the main gateways to enter Dhaka through Gabtoli.
And here other project works are also ongoing. I have heard about the metro rail. Besides, there are plans with different projects which need time for implementation.
You will definitely come here and enjoy the Turag River from the bridge.

Empty trawler
The rivers have been flowing like this to that unknown destination. The Turag River and the Buriganga River have merged. It is also necessary to enjoy everywhere. Through traveling a lot of knowledge is gained. Unknown information about that place is learned and sometimes one has to come out of monotonous life like this and travel to different places.
In leisure time you can definitely come here to visit. Because here these wonderful scenes can be enjoyed.
If I want to briefly describe this place, then here you will see:- a wonderful bridge, the confluence of Turag River and Buriganga River, big trawlers bringing sand and the scene of unloading sand with cranes, a big cattle market.
I will try to present the scenes of this place to you through a video, my own video footage:-
