To the editor
It is time to save Dhaka
Sir, 1 would like to thank you for the editorial of July 5. 'Citizens Must Launch ‘Save Buriganga Movement ".
It is indeed very frustrating that like all other past governments. the present Awami League government Is also indifferent to the environmental Issues which has turned out to be a colossal problem and there seems no easy solution to it. The present government not only Ignores the environmental Issues but other important city planning and urbanisation requirements as well. The government is Ignoring the Dhaka Master Plan prepared by the
professional planners, who look into account the environmental concerns.
The government's proposal to rebuilding the domestic airport in the middle of the city Is another example of its shortsightedness. Instead of providing the citizens with more open spaces, the government is reducing the existing ones. In addition, this decision will pose a big threat to Dhaka's existing traffic Jam and air pollution (which Is worst In the world). It Is Indeed about time for the professional and the ordinary citizens to build strong movement against all the ill plans to destroy Dhaka city which is the lifeline of the nation.
I would also like to thank Mr Mansoor Mamoon for his
write-up "Why is Bangladesh Placed so Low?" published in the same issue. For the reader s Information, regarding human development index Bangladesh is not only placed lowest in the south Asia but also In the whole Asia. This Information was published in ‘The Washington Post' dated 29th of June. After Bangladesh, there were only twenty-three African countries which secured the lowest positions.

Standard of education
Sir. Since the emergence of
Bangiadesh. the standard ot education has deteriorated to an alarming degree. This is mainly due to the shortage of experienced teachers in our educational institutions from primary to university level. And as the number of experienced teachers, particularly In nongovernment school, college and madrasha. is decreasing, the situation is getting worse. If this state of affairs Is allowed to continue, the nation will have to pay heavily. Teachers should be selected carefully as per rule so that quality teaching can be ensured.
