Costly maintenance!

Brig Gen (retd.) Sarwar Hossain, Dhanmondi R/A, Dhaka
Well done BTTB. You have got front-page coverage after quite some time in the most widely circulated English daily of the country for your unholy acts(News item - The DS, 22nd July,08). You should be grateful to ACC Task Force for this. Their relentless digging to unearth your misdeeds over the years resulted in this "Honour" being conferred upon you. Who cares about shame, stigma etc? Those were old schools of thought. Taka 6 lakh for maintenance of each car is nothing. After all, don't these mechanical transports require maintenance? Money is no problem. Taxpayers are there. So, money had to be spent to keep each vehicle flawless, spotless, shinning, so that BTTB officers' children, grandchildren, friends, relatives, in-laws did not have to face slightest bit of embarrassment while riding in cars. Now you have a worthy successor BTCL. They have reduced the number of cars by 22%. A remarkable achievement indeed! We see old wine in new bottle with an old stopper at the top. Wish you all the best BTCL.
