Punish those poisoning food
It is sad that milk and meat are contaminated nowadays. We consume these two items daily. So if these products are contaminated, then it is sure to affect negatively on our health. The antibiotics found in great amount in milk and meat are hazardous for humans as they can lead to inflammation of the urinary system, skin, eye and lead to bone diseases. Not only this, such contaminated items if consumed can damage our brain cells and also cause problem in the respiratory system.
Hence, public health and consumers' rights are violated. Nobody has the right to act in a manner that will ultimately affect the health of the consumers. It is a crime and the perpetrators should receive severe punishment. The government is responsible for ensuring safe food. They should check food adulteration through heightened market monitoring. Public health must be the concern of every government.

'Human hauler' a disgraceful term
I have noticed that some newspapers when referring to vehicles which carry people from one place to another call them 'human haulers'. It seems very odd and disrespectful.
So, it would be wise not to use that word when mentioning vehicles which carry people. I hope the print media will consider the matter seriously. Nur Jahan Chittagong
Commendable job by RAB
While in a bus crossing the Malibagh rail gate near Malibagh DIT road, I noticed a RAB vehicle standing at a corner of that busy road. At first I thought it's negligence on part of the RAB personnel. They parked their vehicle almost in the middle of the road where there is always a tailback. When the bus I was travelling by was passing them, one of the RAB officials from the car signalled our bus driver to stop. I as well as all other passengers of the bus got annoyed as the driver had to park the bus behind their car. The man in black came to the gate of the bus and asked one of the staff of the bus to bring the papers needed for the enquiry. Not to waste the time of the passengers, he directed the driver to go forward and took with him only one staff of the bus.
Though there are hundreds of allegations against the black cops of human rights violations, some of their contributions are really praiseworthy. It's definitely a better idea to deploy RAB personnel on the important streets of Dhaka where drivers always ignore traffic rules and do not care the traffic police. Again, thanks to those RAB officers who care for the comfort of the public in general.

Tyranny in treatment's name
Your front page report of 18th. September, along with the photograph of the victim, recounts the horrifying and criminal negligence of Golam Mostafa, the owner of 'Anwara Diagnostic Center.' In the interest of public safety, government should carry out an immediate inquiry into this cruel and inhuman behaviour of the diagnostic centre's owner.
If the reported incident could be verified, then criminal proceedings might be taken against the owner, and the victim be immediately compensated. Further, the centre's license should be permanently cancelled in the interest of public safety. Such criminal behaviour and acts, as reported, can not be allowed in a civilised society. They deserve exemplary punishment. Victimising patients in the name of treatment must be stopped! A prompt and well publicised action needs to be taken immediately so that such crimes are eradicated.

A commendable decision
Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) has recently asked all the mobile phone operators to switch to a 1 O-second pulse call rate. I highly appreciate this decision. 10-second pulse means if one talks for 16 seconds, the operator will charge him for 20 seconds and not for the whole 1 minute. This has made call costs significantly low. It was quite necessary because to make telecommunication accessible to all, the call cost must be low. Likewise, a reduction in the cost of mobile internet connections would be very commendable. With lower costs and increased usage of such technologies, Bangladesh can improve its ranking in the ICT Development Index.

Cruel game bull fighting
Games and sports are for amusement and development of the body and mind. From time immemorial a large number of people have engaged themselves in many games and people heartily love and adore the players more than the film stars.
But it is a matter of great regret that some games are very cruel in nature and many sportsmen meet their tragic end in those games. In the past, many heartless kings or rulers got pleasure engaging two rival players with open swords and in the end one would win killing the other. Sometimes a man had to fight with a tiger or a lion and, finally, one of them won but the other lost his/its life.
Still there are many games in modern times that cannot be termed gentleman's game. We often hear the death news of many players in boxing, wrestling, bull fighting etc. Among them, bull fighting is the worst type of game. Probably, it is the national game of Spain and lots of people regularly visit the fighting ground to see this game between a very strong bull and a man. People cry out merrily when a bull throws away the rider and attacks him with its strong pair of horns.
Recently, some animal rights advocates appealed for stopping bull fighting in France. But the Constitutional Council of France has opined that the game does not harm the constitutional rights of people. Really, we are unable to understand how a game like this can continue legally in the so-called 'developed' countries like Spain and France!
