Letters to Editor

Death threat to Hasina
We, the general people are very much concerned about the death threat given to the leader of the opposition Sheikh Hasina.
Picture
Saddam's trial
I felt very sad to see the deposed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein appearing before a court in chains and shackles.
Picture
Old Dhaka
The photography exhibition on the building collapse deaths in Shankhari Bazar arranged by DRIK is praiseworthy. The main objective of the exhibition was to create awareness among people.

Offices in residential areas
Now that a large number of high-rise multistoried shopping complexes have come up, the government may issue an order to shift all business offices and NGOs from residential to business areas.
 
Green House Effect?
Patuakhali is my district town and it is one of the southern most towns in Bangladesh.
 
AIDS menace
AIDS stands for Acute Immune Deficiency Syndrome which causes havoc on the human immunity system, utterly destroys it and leads its victims to sure death. The first case was detected in the US in 1981.
 
BGMEA transparency
I was listening to the BBC news covering our RMG sector (proposed amendment to maternity leave, and other benefits to the garment workers, specially the problems of the female workers).
 
What is fundamentalism?
This is a reference to the letter of M Shahidul Islam of 8/4/5 published in an English daily on 10 July, 2004, supporting fundamentalism.
 
A misunderstood religion
Islam is misunderstood by the affluent and materialistic, industrial, non-Muslim first world. Too much disunity due to huge communication gaps continent-wise; and cultural, language and economic disparity.
 
The biologicalifference
Your strong editorial (July 7) on wrestling by women [in public] spotlighted the political side only. The biological differences between man and woman have to be considered also.
 
LGED Administration
LGED is reputed for its rural development and quick decision making, compared to the other public organizations. But what is happening in its own administration? There is nobody to look into the matter.
 
Mathematics Festival
The Mathematics Festival is an exceptional festival which has created much enthusiasm and curiosity among the students of the country.
 
Urdu speaking people
It has been regretfully noted that vested interests are out to term those living in so-called Bihari camps since the emergence of Bangladesh in 1971 till to date as stranded Pakistanis.
 
Misspelling in a 'warning'
Misspelling in the warning on the wall of Savar Cantonment farm is very much noticeable. They have spelt the word 'trespassing' by adding an extra 's' to the first 's' of the word.
 
Mobile phone providers
Your decision to introduce Prepaid Cards may have brought added revenue and may have brought technology closer to a wider selection of population but its usefulness, practical utility and positive implication
