Disappearing farmland

Kabir Hossain Taposh, Banani, Dhaka
STAR STAR A few days back I wrote a letter to this column expressing deep concern about disappearing farmlands. I am happy to see the heading of TDS of June 11 on the same issue. We have become very indifferent as a nation. Nothing goes into our ears unless it falls on us. The farmlands are drastically shrinking. Even in the remote village, the situation is the same. Due to low price of agricultural products, landowners are selling their lands at a high price to realtors, manufacturers and brickfield owners. It is high time the government did something about this.
