Control price
manipulation

The abnormal surge in commodity prices has made public life unbearable. The abnormal increase in commodity price must be stopped as soon as possible. It needs the quick intervention by the government and related ones to stop the evil cycle of price hike.
The unscrupulous traders, syndicates as well middlemen, who don’t give up a single opportunity to make profit even during the national crisis moment, must be taken under punishment. It is the urge of time to stop the cycle of syndication and hoarding.

Poor disaster risk management

Bangladesh stands fifth among the top disaster risk countries in the world. When our neighbouring countries take various initiatives to make their people more aware to protect the natural environment, to ensure a suitable living environment for themselves and their future generations, we cannot make our position strong due to lack of apathy and ability of the authorities. It is a serious threat for us as well as for the future generations. Lack of modern tools needed to prevent the disaster, shortage of experienced and skilled manpower, absence of environmental protection, mismanagement and failure of the concerned people, proper environmental knowledge, lack of training and programmes and environmental research make the situation more worsening.
