Shia-Sunni violence
Since the "surge" of US troops four months ago, Shia-Sunni bloodlettings in Iraq seem to have gone beyond control.

Chittagong scene
The rains, water-logging and mudslide made Chittagong a place unfit for human habitation. It is the most cataclysmic rainfall and landslide in the history of Chittagong. People are homeless and helpless.

Agriculture subsidy
It is often complained that the subsidy to the agriculture sector given by the government does not reach the farmers.
 
National ID card
Collecting necessary information for the National ID card is a time consuming task. National ID card is applicable for the youngest child and the oldest person who are valid citizens of the country.
 
No garbage disposal!
Nearly three million people live in Agargaon and Taltola. So the quantity of the household garbage collected each day from this area is easily imaginable.
 
Voter ID to contain corruption
As we know that the present government is serious about rooting out corruption from society, I would like to suggest the following steps:
 
ID card project
If the government steps back from its earlier decision to implement the ID card project, it will be the first major sign of its weakness and will send a wrong message to the people who are waiting for
 
Taxes on textile machinery
Bangladesh, unfortunately, manufactures low-value goods.
 
Lost canals
Heavy rain has destroyed the sewerage system. Dhaka City Corporation has decided that they will change the system and its water extraction plan.
 
Poor Dhaka !
I'm presently residing in Sudbury On, Canada. I am a regular reader of your newspaper. I am a management professional. I want to share some views and ideas with you.
 
Mugging
Incidents of mugging by drugging commuters or pedestrians have been rising sharply in the city.
 
Human rights
The government cannot gain the confidence and trust of the people unless they have discipline and order in their own house.
 
Language
Everyone knows that the role of language in communication is very important, especially when communicating with the public.
 
Arrests
I don't think I would be in the minority if I were to say that I was quite skeptical when the first batch of arrests was made in February.
 
Hasina and her foreign tours
Sheikh Hasina goes overseas every now and then. Even if you travel like a commoner, the minimum you have to spend per trip is half a million in our currency for a seven-day stay.
 
An English medium school
As I look up from my desk in my Head's office, I see my girls having their Song and Dance classes. The songs and dances are, of course, Bengali, and the standard is extremely good.
 
Corruption
I am living in the UK for the past 40 years.
