If one just travels for an hour in Dhaka city, one will notice the haphazard situation of traffic and piles of rubbish on roads. I don't understand why the government doesn't take any steps to clean the city?

Thank you, The Daily Star, for highlighting this issue. In fact, the same situation can be seen on every street of Dhaka.

Israel thinks it can do anything; it is behaving like a mad elephant, but it should know that world is now recognising who the real terrorist is and Israel is hated by the same people who are still sending it aid.

Israel never wants peace.

“Almost another Bangladesh, second liberation” (July 11, 2014)

It's really hard to be too enthused about such news in BD these days. Those who can make a real, sustained difference are patrioteers and full of self-importance.
They don't either consult home grown experts in the field or some of them with a smidgen of knowledge on the subject don't go out and hire overseas experts, who could help fully exploit resources that are there or becoming available to BD.
The reason? Their inadequacy may be exposed or their 'control' might be diminished. Whatever happens the people of the country lose out!

Our rulers have finished squandering whatever was on the land and underneath; now they will focus their attention on stealing sea resources -- a new sector. Hurray!
