Observer crisis

Professor M Zahidul Haque, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka
It is heartening to learn that on the basis of the assurance given by the Information Minister and the Law Minister, the journalists, press workers and the general employees of THE BANGLADESH OBSERVER newspaper have deferred their scheduled fast unto death programme to press home implementation of the agreement till 19 April. It is sincerely hoped that the agreement signed between the owners and the journalists, press workers and general employees of The Bangladesh Observer will soon be implemented allowing Observer employees to take a fresh breath in comfort after several years of suffering!
