Nirjhor Cantonment Residential Area,Dhaka

Amazing Nirjhor Cantonment Residential Area... Nirjhor Residential Area at Dhaka Cantonment. This is quiet a charming area at Cantonment, Dhaka, if you havent been. A bridge illuminated with neon lights, nicely kept lake and a restaurant by the lake (Captains world). However, you may only chill there if you have defense reference. You will be asked about the referense once entering the Cantonment Area, and then again once you are entering Nirjhor Residential area. The guards can get specific such as what batch, or rank is the defense reference person you are referring to. They are quite strict. Say you are only here to get a bite in that Triveni restraurant and you entered Cantonment with a defense reference. Dont say you want to take pictures, not allowed.  *All Pics Are Collected From Internet...
