Electricity

O H Kabir, Dhaka
We are neither living in the Dark Age, nor in the Middle Age. This is twenty first century. We are living in a modern world. Compared to new independent states, perhaps we in Bangladesh are living far behind some of the dark continent African countries. We understand and we are happy that our present government has undertaken and is executing some giant development projects like construction of Padma Bridge, Jatrabari-Gulistan Flyover, widening Chittagong-Dhaka Highway, Dhaka Elevated Expressway etc of billions and billions of dollars. We all feel the importance and necessity of all these development projects. But we must remember that Rome was not built in a day. We may execute and implement all these development projects one by one. It is not possible to undertake all the projects all at a time. Slow but steady always win the race. Time and tide wait for none. Today the first and foremost requirement of our time, nation and country as a whole is the immediate adequate supply of electricity. Our authorities concerned may kindly give top most priority and solve our electricity problem first of all in the greater interest of our sixteen crore people.
