Renaming ZIA
Please refer to a letter by Kabir Ahmed published in your daily on 1 March 2010. It drew my attention. Renaming or assigning names to different establishments was not in the election manifesto of the Awami League. Rather, their pledge was to change the days by doing a good job for the people. This government took over power more than a year ago. During this period, what change the government has been able to bring ?
We witnessed soaring prices of rice, intolerable traffic congestion in Dhaka city, unprecedented deterioration of law and order, unabated killing in crossfire, heinous activities of the Chhatra League, extreme scarcity of gas and electricity, no foreign investment, no steps for employment generation, shrinking foreign job market etc.
Dhaka has been termed the second worst city in the world. We do not see any initiative to make the city liveable. As the evaluation was done by the Economist, the news has spread all over the world. If the situation is as such, then will any foreign investor take interest to come and stay in Dhaka? Please prioritise the tasks based on our real needs and let the people know your agenda.
