Anti- wastage department needed
We are very much familiar with the words system loss. The ultimate result of all these is wastage, which is very much rampant in our country, and is one of the major causes of shortage of electricity. Wastage of food is observed in most of the marriage ceremonies, in dinner parties and in other similar ceremonies. We find that cars, trucks and buses are lying in different office compounds and in the police stations, for years together, which gradually turn into scraps. I have seen many residential buildings constructed under some development project in remote places, which remained vacant and eventually fell into decay.
Some political activities like erection of arches on the road, fixing posters and festoons, and government functions like opening ceremonies, are glaring examples of wastage of man-hour, material and money. I would like to mention the name of 'Janata tower' in Karwanbazar, which has been standing in incomplete condition in a very valuable location without any use for many years due to litigation, as a monument of wastage.
In office management there is also system loss which cannot be metered like electricity, but this is also wastage. Wastage of high magnitude in office management results in inefficient management causing sufferings to the people and obstructing the development activities and normal routine works as well. The Holy Quran says, “But waste not by excess: for Allah loveth not the wasters.” I feel that like Anti-Corruption Commission there should be anti- wastage department.
