LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Nazly Maksurath, Chittagong

Population is growing so alarmingly that it has become a serious concern for all. In order to make the people conscious about the consequences of population growth, the world leaders have termed this problem as population explosion. For Bangladesh, this problem is even more serious. Ours is one of the smallest countries, but it has the highest density of population. The government cannot ensure food, education, medicare and accommodation for the majority of the people. It is time to do something about the population boom.
