Am I a fool!
Sir. 1 had NWD facility against -my telephone No. 415006. In terms of recent Circular, issued by .the T ^iT Authority. I opted for curtail- ‘ Ing the facility-specifically on the economic point of view. While materialising the options. the Authority has changed my number. These changes have been made in many other cases but without any mere intimation to the telephone holders. However, the average monthly, bill against my earlier number with NWD facility was more or less Tk 700/- but 1 have got a bill of Tk 1245.80 for the month of August '93 against my new No. 419691 without NWD facility. Isn't ft totally absurd?
Only to avoid unnecessary harassment of temporary dis-
connection, many of the consumers take trouble to pay the bills even considering the same very much on high side in comparison .to the use. But how long this torture will continue ? How tragic and how mysterious — to minimise expenditure. I had to forgo facility but expenditure is not ready to spare me! Am I a fool?

Encroachment on public road?
Sir. The Dhaka Metropolitan Housing Society 'at Mohammadpur (near Babar Road) started construction of their boundary wall, apparently encroaching upon- 10 feet of 40 feet Babar Road between
north-west corner of Geneva Camp and Zohari Mohalla dismantling the pucca dust bin. constructed by the DCC. The previously constructed metal portion of the road at the middle of the whole road-span now appears on one side due to this apparent encroachment. It seems there is none to look after this Corporation's property. I tried to contact some of the officers Of the DCC Zone-6. specially the Executive Enginedr (Road), who is said to be in charge of these roads, but without any result.

Cox's Bazar beach
Sir. Your unique editorial titled "The Early Tol] at Cox's Bazar Beach” moved me so much so that 1 was compelled to express my deepest feeling about Dilruba's (the victim's newly-wed wife) tragic episode in life. We have no adequate words to express oyr profound grief to console Ker because of the loss of her husband during the time of bathing in low-tide-
hours at Cox's Bazar sea beach.
1 strongly feel that the Parjaton people should come forward with feasible protective measures for the visitors who. out of fun and frolic, take a dip into the sea waters for pleasure and recreation. These protective measures would be through netting of some portion of the sea beach for the bathers who would be instructed not to go bathing in low-tide hours. The yearly toll of some valuable lives in our country at Cox's Bazar sea beach could easily be eliminated by the formation of a rescue party with all safety measures to drhw more visitors, both domestic and foreign, to promote the cause of tourism In this part of the globe.
'I would like to point out here that the sea witter s fury never spares anybody from its ^rath. We should also raise the slogan — Beaware of bathing in low-tide hours," to educate the visitors and bathers who happen to visit the sea beach of Cox's Bazar during this time of the year.
