Power failures
Minhaj Ahmed, Uttara, Dhaka
It is worrisome that this year we are experiencing a very hot weather. The heat wave has been worsening and this is definitely hampering the everyday life of the people. Hospitals are crammed with patients of diarrhoea and other diseases related to extreme heat. This extreme heat is not actually the only problem: the worst problem is load-shedding. The government, for no particular reason, decided to close all the shops and marketplaces by 7:00pm in order to reduce load-shedding. But recently the power failure has increased so much that it is becoming almost unbearable. The question is, are these "men at the helm" sharing the same fate at their homes and workplaces like other ordinary citizens? The government should not only focus on capturing corrupt politicians and businessmen but should also focus on other crucially important issues, like supply of electricity.
