The Goswa Nibaroni (anger management) Park is expected to take 12-14 months to complete and will feature a lake, snack corners, relaxing music and giant-screen televisions. The concept comes from an ancient Bangladeshi tradition in which villages had an "anger hut" on the nearest riverbank for angry people to calm down, the mayor said.
"Such ideas have long gone. Urban life can be very stressful. City dwellers easily become victims of anxiety," Khokon told AFP. "If you quarrel with your wife, you can go this park and relax." Dhaka, one of the world's fastest growing metropolises, has been losing green space to the mass construction of new residential districts.
