Citizens' role in improving Dhaka's liveability
Dhaka has been ranked as the world's worst liveable city according to Economist Intelligence Unit's (E1U) 'liveability' study. Only blaming the government will not get us any fruitful result until we, the citizens become aware of the situation. We can at least keep our environment clean. Creating massive awareness among the countrymen about keeping the environment clean will help improve the situation. At the same time, city corporations should provide waste bins in all areas and make people use those and take action against those who don't abide by the rules. Let's keep our environment clean.

Textbooks yet to reach rural students
We have learned from media reports that many students have not got textbooks yet, even though a month has passed. This is a common scene across the country particularly in the rural areas. We request the government not to ignore the rural students and provide them with textbooks immediately so that they do not lag behind in pursuing their education.

Need for more technical schools
BRAC has established a good number of primary schools in the country. This largest NGO of the world has also set up a few secondary schools in the rural areas.
We learnt from the print media a few years ago that the government incurred a loss of tk. 600 crore yearly due to the existence of more educational institutions than are necessary across the country.
Now the government has decided to establish 100 technical schools across the country. As technical schools are more suitable for us than the general schools, we ask BRAC as well as the other NGOs to establish technical schools in Bangladesh.

Jamaat-Shibir's misdeeds
Recently the extremist fanatics Jamaat-Shibir assaulted the police again in Gaibandha. They torched their vehicle, swooped on the law enforcers with sticks and sharp weapons and injured them severely. These people take advantage of the general people's religious sentiments in doing so. We should make the people aware of the misdeeds of Jamaat-Shibir.

Comments on news report, "BCB chooses not to play Test!" published on January 24, 2014

What do you expect from BCB led by Papon when India proposes and endorses something?
Concerned Citizen
Why is there an Indian influence in each and every sector of our country? Are we really a sovereign country?
Snr Citizen
There will be NO future of BD Cricket at all without going through the rigours of playing Test matches. It is suicidal! There is still time to reconsider. BCB board officials are not farsighted. That is the least I can say. Are we incapable of playing Tests? Our players, the whole body, must oppose the decision ASAP.

They are Awami politicians! What do you expect!

The government is so threatened by India that we have to stop playing a game that 160 million people love!
OpeeMonir
It may sound absurd and grossly unpopular, but the fact is Bangladesh is not yet in the Test class. But then again there are other opinions. It is alarming that they voted 20-3. Is this also due to strong INDIA factor? Is someone in the country propagating the issue? We must find who that agent is. Our cricket is in great danger.
Sakib Hossain
This is absolutely absurd. We are a good Test playing nation especially at home; we just lack good quality fast bowlers. Even a big country like India has never been able to produce one till date. It is my utmost request to BCB to please go against this move with all their might.
Snr Citizen
Will cricketer Shakib open his mouth with a genuine analysis?
