The elite force
The whole country was seething with frustration over the failure of law enforcers.
 
Grey market: mobile telephones

Congo mission
Bangladesh believes in peace and harmony and extends its support to the international community to curb all sorts of subversive activities.
 
On reading Johnson

The Daily Star editorial (May 10) on professional public conduct (and image) is timely. The political leaders have also to take note, and not sit on the fence.
 
Foreign nose
It is being observed that foreign diplomats especially from the US and the UK are very active in extra-diplomatic business here in Bangladesh.
 
Values and morality
I was taking lunch with some friends and discussing, what not? From caretaker government, Chittagong City Corporation polls to Indian Idol Amit Sana and Abhijeet.
