To the Editor
'Dhaka Day by Day"
Sir, As a regular reader, I could not fully endorse the views expressed in the letter captioned Dhaka Day by Day' by Ms. Soncca Parveen Khan In your esteemed dally on June 6. 1 find her remonstrances based on sporadic and occasional perusal of the column.
The write-ups on art exhibitions, musical soirees, poetry recitals, a birth anniversary of a noted laureate are not the whole of "Dhaka Day by Day". Frequently I find a host of writers. Including Mr SM AH. writing on multifarious burning Issues. They write on the plight of house-maids, on development communication, pay tribute to a noble Minister, fo cub on mis-happenings on the DU Campus, write on sartorial habits, write on Nakshl Kantha Sometimes a conversation with a top executive of an Interna tionally renowned establish ment published in the said column acquaint us with expert views. It Is true that the subjects are expressed here In light tones. In my view, the plight of the Dhakattes are ably described. A diverse set of subjects make reading of this column a joyful experience.
I. unfortunately, do not
know any of the writers. Yet, I reserve a great deal of admiration for what they treat us with. Also. 1 don't know If these people reside In Dhan-tnondf. Gulshan. Bananl. But. I am sure they are not writing just only to cater to the Interests of any exclusive group living in posh areas only.
The Daily Star' since Its Inception has been invariably bringing into focus the press4 Ing issues through other columns too. Ms Soneea Parveen Khan should admit that 'Down to Earth' column by Mr ASM Narunnabl. aided by a sharp-witted cartoonist Mr Sharier Is not less than enough to depict the true picture of Dhaka. Hope, Ms. Soneea Per-veen Khan will take into consideration the saying 'Nobody and nothing is perfect but the world cannot remain stagnant In the name of attainment of perfection.' Practice makes a man perfect. The worthy and meaningful efforts of the writers of Dhaka Day by Day will be able to cater our demands . more fulfillingly In the days to come.
However, I appreciate Mb. Soneea Parveen Khan's raising of a demand for ■depleting Dhaka more realistically. It is a commendable gesture. On one
hand her apprehension that 'Dhaka Day by Day' would turn into an 'ivory tower' stuff seems unfounded and on the other. I believe, the columnists of Dhaka Day by Day' will make greater efforts to satisfy the demands of Ms Soncca Parveen Khan as well as our continuous expectations.

Help for a mosque
Sir, We the Inhabitants of the village Alaipur under No. 1 Haztpur union In the district of Magura. beg to say for your kind information that a very ancient and decrepit mosque in the area has been lying almost tn ruins. The musallis of the mosque have been suffering for a long time and are offering their namaz in the open field. Most of the villagers are very poor and they live from hand to mouth. As such we seek financial help from the rich people of the country as well as from the Religious Af fairs Ministry of the Bangladesh Government for badly needed repair to the mosque.
