Daylight saving
Engr. Shah Alam Khan, Dhanmondi Residential Area. Dhaka
A letter from Mr. Salahuddin Ayubi on the above subject has drawn my attention. I would like to point out that this practice of advancing the clock by one hour in the summer is common in most of the advanced countries of the world including the USA and the benefit of this practice is immense; people can start their work one hour before their usual time and finish one hour early. This helps to save energy which we need badly during the summer time, besides giving people enough time to shop before the shopping centres are closed. This change in time can be made in the last weekend of April and brought back to the previous position in the last weekend of October.The authorities concerned should consider the matter in all seriousness.
