People’s demand of a fair election must be ensured

The present situation of the country has made me so upset that I cannot think about anything else, I have become consumed with rage by the audacity of the Awami League government which came to power twice without people’s mandate and planning again to do the same.
They are constantly saying that they have done so many development works for the country and people are happy then why Awami League is afraid to arrange a fair election. Are they living in a cocoon where people’s rage and protests are not reaching them?
It cannot go on like this; people will not let them to snatch power again by devious way. So Awami League must come to their senses and arrange an acceptable election.

Global warming

Through the auspices of Readers’ Voice, I would like to draw the attention of the people regarding global warming and its impact. Unfortunately, Bangladesh is one of the highly vulnerable countries in the world due to the global warming. As we can see, the recent floods devastated huge parts of our country, especially in haor areas and left it in crisis during this difficult time.
One of the major reasons behind the flood and river erosion is the deforestation which directly affects the weather, making it warmer and also results in hot weather. Our responsibility as a citizen is to get awareness about such issues and plant more and more trees to keep nature alive as it was before. Otherwise, if we keep fighting with the nature, it surely hits back.
