Find out and punish abductors, killers
All of a sudden the country is facing rising number of abductions and dreadful killings of commoners at the hands of unknown assailants. Kidnappings in broad daylight have become a routine affair. People are gripped with fear; guardians are worried about sending their children to educational institutions while close ones of office-goers are likewise tense. None is sure whether at day's end one would return home safely or not.
It is our earnest request to the prime minister to urgently find out the masterminds and take stern and effective measures to improve the situation before time runs out.

menace
This refers to the alarming news published in TDS on 28th April 2014. We can not let these unscrupulous people destroy our health this way. The government should form a squad comprising members from army, police, magistrates and chemists who will raid the wholesale and retail markets regularly and punish those who are at fault. Consumers should also be careful. It is time for the government and the consumers to be united in order to fight this menace.

Unregistered SIM cards
Many people of Bangladesh use mobile phones with unregistered SIM cards as they consider registering a trouble. Taking advantage of this situation, some unscrupulous people do illegal activities such as tease and extort people as they know they cannot be traced. Unregistered SIMs are available everywhere. It is solely the cell phone companies' responsibility to bring the subscribers under registration. If everyone has a registered SIM card, eve-teasing, threatening people, extortion using phone, etc. will stop. Recently, around 5000 SIM cards have been dumped in a pond of Joypurhat. It is believed that those SIMs were used for criminal purposes. The government should look into the matter seriously.

How can Sheikh Hasina evade the responsibility of so many abductions and murders?
Mortuza Huq
Correct. The PM is in charge of the home ministry.

She will say these people are patriots and they have been framed to stop the war crimes trial.
Ibrahim Zaman
When I was watching the news on TV, a question arose in my mind. If Nur Hossain was really involved in the killing, why would he keep the blood-stained microbus in his house for 6/7 days? A professional criminal will never preserve the evidence of his crime on his own premises.
Spiderman
Mr. Zaman, these criminals are above the law and they know that they are immune to punishment. Who will dare to challenge them? The nation lost Padma Bridge even when all the evidences were there. These criminals have blessings from the top bosses and hence they don't care about these small things like blood stains or even dead bodies in their house.

In our country, the prime minister must intervene to solve all problems. So, what is she doing to stop the Indian barrage that will prevent the flow of water from entering Bangladesh, a lower riparian? And what is the foreign ministry doing about it? Is the Bangladesh government absolutely helpless when it comes to India? We need a government that can stand up to India and put its foot down to say no when our national interest is compromised.
Mofi
Looks like this is an endless suffering! How long will we have to endure this injustice?
S.M. Iftekhar Ahmed
If India is being a bad, uncooperative neighbour, then the Bangladesh government is also equally to blame as they are simply sitting idly and doing nothing.
Hardreality
Bilateral relationship should be based on mutual interests. However, because of lack of strong diplomacy from our part, India is getting what it needs and at the same time, depriving us of our fair legitimate right to water and Bangladesh is losing on every front. India will not give us anything if we do not take a strong stance. Then why is our government so submissive to India?
