Letters to Editor

Taking care of people
We the citizens expect and hope that the non-political caretaker government will take care of us, establishing norms that will be permanent. One such area is healthcare for the poor.

Bush and veto
The use of veto by President Bush to scuttle the Iraq pullout bill cannot be viewed as illegal or wrong, because he has only used his "legitimate" right bestowed on the president in the US Constitution.

University education: then and now
My attention was drawn to a news item on a roundtable of young academics organised by The Daily Star.

Controlling noise pollution
I would like to express my gratitude to all concerned who took the initiative to ban honking, first from the Shahbagh intersection to Sonargaon Hotel as a test case, then up to the Shaheed JahangirGate
 
Leaders, leave the people alone
We do not disagree with the rights of two of our former prime ministers: Sheikh Hasina has every right to return to her country and Khaleda Zia too has every right to decline to go abroad.
 
Eviction drive in Dhanmondi
As a long-term resident of Dhanmondi (since the 1950's), I am shocked by the recent rhetoric about Dhanmondi businesses and the drastic and over-the-top solutions being proposed by Rajuk.
 
Eve teasing
Innocent girls are the worst victims of teasing, almost everywhere in the country. The law enforcers should address the issue and take necessary steps to stop this extremely uncivil behaviour.
 
Congratulations, Dr. Horta
I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate Dr. Horta on his becoming the president of East Timor. Also, I would like to congratulate the people of East Timor for their decision in favour ofDr.
 
Admission forgery
The total number of fake students in the Faculty of Social Sciences at the DU is reported to be 76 ( As of May 05, 2007). This is enough for tarnishing the image of the university.
 
Rebuilding demolished structures
The reinstatement of the unlawful structures, which were dismantled only a few days ago, is going on in almost full swing at Khulna city.
 
Power issue
As I began writing this letter, suddenly the electricity went off, for the fourth time this evening! Our first point is that we want to thank and congratulate the Adviser for Energy, Mr.
 
Prime residential areas
With the deteriorating law and order situation in the country, the interim caretaker government should immediately take strict measures, especially in the prime residential area of Gulshan.
 
People ready to wait
We have found BNP leader Hannan Shah being very critical about the caretaker government.
 
Grave risk
The big round-about on the Airport Highway, opposite the Terminal Building of ZIA, needs to be signal-controlled. Thousands of people and workers cross the highway every day, which is very risky.
 
27th BCS: Do justice
Nowadays much is being said about the 27th BCS-- whether it should be cancelled or not.
 
HSC English question paper
I'm an HSC examinee. Our exams started on 10th May, 2007. The 1st exam was English 1st Paper.
 
US Senators' letter
It is amazing that 13 US Senators sent a letter to the Chief Adviser to the government of Bangladesh. One of them is a defeated Presidential candidate; another is prospective Presidential candidate.
