Dhaka, Feb. 7 -- Dhaka, one of the most densely populated cities in the world, has long been deemed uninhabitable due to unplanned urbanisation and pollution.

Adding to its burden is the growing number of private universities scattered across the city.

Experts argue that this expansion is straining the capital further.

They claim that the excessive commercialisation of education has led to this situation, which is also inconsistent with proper urban planning.

Past governments have favoured private university owners, preventing the decentralisation of higher education.

According to Worldometer, Dhaka's current population exceeds 2.46 crore.
