The new international airport
The government has decided, finally, to build a new international airport and the Prime Minister has directed the authorities concerned to report about the prospective sites to her within a week (DS: 2.8.11). It appears from the report that Sirajdikhan is about 18 km. away from the zero point while other places are very far except Arial Beel, where the government failed to convince people earlier and the PM personally negated to build the dream airport there in the end. Considering the physical location and proximity with the capital city, cost, time for commuting, passengers' convenience including the VVIPs (local and international) etc., we think the proposed new international airport should be established at Sirajdikhan. We would like to request the PM not to be happy with the sycophancy of some timeservers; rather she should be meticulous and take the public with her before investing thousands of crores of taka of our poor people.
