A good decision

We heartily thank Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for backing the recovery of grabbed rivers and lands. We learned that in a cabinet meeting on June 21 2010, the PM assigned seven ministers to implement the Detailed Area Plan through building favourable public opinion and holding inter-ministerial meetings. People are behind her for this move, day-by-day Dhaka is becoming uninhabitable, if nothing is done immediately we will have to face dire consequences. We are astonished to learn that the government is facing challenges from inside in implementing the plan. How could land developers become so bold that they do not hesitate to pressurize the state minister for housing and public works and Rajuk officials to relax the rules? We have seen on the television how they behaved with the minister, it is shameful and we loathe their attitude. The government must not bow down to the pressure of the land grabbers, who for their selfish purpose are opposing the government plan. People are behind the government on this issue and we hope they will not be disappointed.
