A serious threat to Sundarbans
It is true that our power sector requires a lot of development. However, we need to think about the after effects of building the Rampal power plant near the Sundarbans. This project is going to destroy the wildlife of the world's largest mangrove forest as well as the entire ecosystem in which it thrived. Sundarbans has already experienced a steep decline in the population of various species. This project, ifimplemented, will be a further blow to its flora and fauna. Please don't expose the lives of the animals and plants of this forest to the devastating impacts of the power plant. I would urge the authorities concerned to take the right steps in order to save our beloved Sundarbans and the thousands of animals that live there.

Eliminate all nukes
This refers to the report, "Iran, IAEA agree 'practical steps'" (Feb. 10). Why this nuclear apartheid? Nuclear weapons are used as blackmail tactic in international politics. What the IAEA should bother about is whether nuclear weapons are falling in the hands of terrorist groups. Even if Iran has nuclear weapons, she will not use it against any other nation, for the simple reason that such a foolhardy step will be met with massive retaliation. Israel is said to be in possession of more than 100 nuclear missiles, whereas big powers like the US, China, and Russia have thousands of nuclear weapons. Efforts should be made to eliminate nuclear weapons from the planet earth. Nuclear weapons may become outdated, as there are reports that nations like Russia and the USA are developing inter-planet missiles - a missile that can hit the earth from the Moon, or other planet.

Brilliant feat by SUST students
Bangladesh's new generation has started walking into a new path of glory. Some students of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) have made a remote-controlled aircraft, referred to as drone, which took its inaugural flight on 29 th January 2014.
The device will be able to reach any place within a relatively short time and is quite noiseless in its operation.
Young people are working hard for inventing new technologies which can help develop our country. All they need is guideline and cooperation from the government.

What about the burnt schools?
Everybody has forgotten about those schools that were burnt on the day before 10th parliamentary election. Nobody asks anything about the condition of those schools anymore. And we see no news report in the dailies about how they are now carrying out their educational activities. Who knows what kind of future is awaiting the students of those schools.
