Nurerchala is a living hell for shoppers (and shopkeepers)

It is often said the worst sight in the world is to witness ignorance and stupidity in action.

That said, roadwork construction workers, their supervisors, and management in Nurerchala, are taking it to a new level and their mission, seemingly, is to win a Guinness Book of Records citation for their disgraceful efforts.

----- Maj. Haider Aziz (retd.)

It’s amazing, the best change this country has ever witnessed since its birth was the collapse of Sheikh Hasina’s dictatorship and her team of sycophant corrupt cronies. Bangladesh had gained the reputation of being one of the most corrupt countries... if not ‘the’... most corrupt country in Asia.  And...

Judicial system goes on trial

Justice is special and it’s the foremost duty of every government to deliver justice for all its citizens. Justice is akin to the air we breathe. It is a standalone feature free from all prejudices – short, tall, fat, thin, skin pigmentation, or religious beliefs – and intended to be universally equal for all ----  write Sir Frank Peters & Tarazi Mohammed Sheikh
