Great decision

Mohammad Ataul Hoque, On e-mail
The prime minister's decision to form a separate ministry for Bangladesh Railway is a pragmatic one. Certainly, this bold and timely decision in the backdrop of universal demand in the country will add another feather to her cap and therefore, she certainly deserves congratulations from the countrymen. We are now eagerly awaiting necessary legal and administrative formalities to form the ministry in no time so that it can start functioning as soon as possible. The bureaucracy is the only agency which can create impediment in implementing the proposal and therefore all concerned should be careful about it. The prime minister may kindly consider dynamic and dedicated leaders to head this important ministry to take charge of this most problematic transport sector and put the railway back on the track. We are eagerly awaiting prime minister's quick actions to implement her historic decision for the welfare of the people. We believe, this kind of public welfare decisions will rekindle the hopes and aspirations of the countrymen for a better future Bangladesh. May Allah help and guide her in this direction.
