"CALL OFF BLOCKADE FOR EXAMINEES1 SAKE" (JANUARY 31,2015)
New Generation
Throwing petrol bombs at innocent people is a heinous crime as is staying in state power unethically with 5% vote. So, we do not know who is more responsible -but for the sake of general people's life and property, the stalemate requires to be resolved immediately.
Atypical Bangladeshi It's interesting to note how The Daily Star is pleading the BNP-led alliance for withdrawing the blockade when the answer is in the hands of the government.**
Efficient traffic management system needed
I fully endorse the sentiment expressed by the writer, in his piece "Remembering Zaglul: Not a requiem but a will to remedy needed" published in TDS on January 30, 2015. He mentioned our failings as "It is our misfortune. " 1 would like to say that
is the dominance of corruption and unwillingness to create an efficient system that is the root cause of the problem. Instead of issuing license to untrained and incompetent drivers in exchange of money, license should be issued properly. If the minister fails to remove unfit vehicles from the roads t then he should resign. It must also be looked into why police turns a blind eye to the traffic rules violations.
In order to have an efficient traffic management system, the city corporations, R&H, police and BRTA must work under one umbrella.

Do our lives matter?
On 16th January, 2015, a second-year student of East West University was killed under the wheels of a covered van in the capital's Badda area. She was returning home from Baridhara on a rickshaw with her classmate.
This type of tragic road accidents is pretty common in recent times because of recklessness of the driv-
ers and lax traffic control. I urge the authority concerned to create separate lanes for rickshaws and bicycles on the busy roads. I believe
that would reduce the number of rickshaw and heavy transport collision. Also, our request to all drivers and rickshaw pullers to obey the traffic rules while driving on the road. Accidents can take place anytime but if the rules are followed properly, it can be reduced. Md. Towfiqur Rahman East West University
Save the innocent people
BNP-led continuous blockade is going on throughout the country and there is no sign of returning to normalcy. More than 40 innocent people have already died, many more are struggling for life in the burn unit of different hospitals. The government and law enforcers have failed to control the situation. They are only giving empty threats to the unknown anarchists but there is no sign of improvement. The real culprits are out of reach, moving freely on the streets and hurling petrol bombs on innocent people.
The government is unable to give us security. It is indifferent to brutality; it just wants to cling to power. Nobody is paying heed to the call for dialogue. We, the common people want peace and security. We want to go to our workplace and return home without the fear of becoming victims to petrol bombs. Md. Ali Akbar
