DST misunderstood
The daylight saving time decision to advance the BDST by 1 hour could have been a good decision for which it was intended. Many countries of the world, especially the countries of northern hemisphere, do that from last sat/sun day of March by advancing 1 hour and revert back to normal time on last sat/sun of October.
Bangladesh's decision to change was taken after March this year and therefore to change in June could be justified. But why the government has to revert back on October 1 and why not like all other countries from last sat/sun day of October?
All airlines change their schedule once in March and again in October because of this. If Bangladesh does it arbitrarily on some other day then the published airlines timings will be confusing BD travellers.
This month on October 31 the times will be changed all over. Bangladesh should follow the same schedule.
