Hapless people
S Yasmin, Lalmatia, Dhaka
Every day we find news of people dying due to cold and cold related diseases all over Bangladesh. It's true that we have no control over Nature, but can't our government ensure that at least no person will die for not having warm clothes, treatment or medicines? We see that mostly old persons and children die from cold. Why? Because their poor health and low resistance do not permit them to fight against this severe cold. It's their ill fate that they are the citizens of such a country where the government doesn't show an iota of sympathy for them. Since people are dying in accidents and in unforeseen circumstances, there is perhaps nobody to worry about the hapless victims of cold.
