Voter list
I fail to understand what is the problem if voters application forms are distributed to all municipalities and city corporations holding numbers with request to residents to submit the voters forms duly

Price hike & governance
The CTG has miserably failed to contain prices of essential foods for the already hard-pressed citizens of the country.
 
Womanhood - A state of being
I am a 'woman', and I am proud to be one are you? Maybe not.

Budget
The interim government is free from corruption and people expect good things from the government. Every year the govt. declares a budget with lofty goals, but it does not bring welfare to people.
 
Garment factory
A garment factory was established with two buildings at Indira Road with a few hundred employees working there.
 
Let's rebuild the country
Many things are happening right now all over the world, but you should think about the country first. We must say in one voice "yes" to this government, now or never-- we trust you for your honesty.
 
Begum Zia's comment
Recently, BNP chairperson Begum Zia claimed that there was no dynastic politics in her party! An AL leader has termed it the joke of the year, and rightly at that.
 
DSE index
The Dhaka Stock Exchange index reached 2003.58484 at the trading hours on Thursday indicating strong performance in the country's prime bourse. On the day there was trade of Tk 170.
 
The WB issue
I am shocked to know that a corrupt man like Mr. Wolfowitz was at the helm of a reputable organisation like the World Bank. The WB is the largest source of multilateral finance.
 
PSC
I'm very happy with the latest decision taken by the advisers' council on the 27th BCS. We can symbolize it as the "resurrection" of PSC.
 
Ready to wait
People are happy with the caretaker government. People are ready to wait patiently, they want to give the interim government as much time as is needed to hold a free and fair election.
 
Leaders at fault?
A letter written by Mr. Ahmed from Boston, USA, questioning 'Sheikh Hasina's argument' appeared in The Daily Star of May 25, 2007.
 
Pregnancy allowance
The proposed Tk. 300 allowance for pregnant mothers will help to increase the already high birth rate in our densely-populated country. It will encourage destitute women to have more children.
 
An appeal
Is it possible on the part of the City Corporation to remove the garbage container stationed at College Gate on Mirpur Road (entrance of SAU) in the interest of public health and environmental safety??
 
Dealing with graft
In the United States the courts have handed down long jail sentences for corporate graft. Some of the convicted senior executives of big companies will spend the rest of their lives behind bars.
 
VIP status in jail
I read in one of the newspapers that the court had ordered the govt. to give VIP status to Tarique Rahman. But my question is, why should the govt.
 
Good decision
After a long controversy, the government has finally decided to cancel the 27th BCS viva voce. It is a very good decision. Allegation of corruption against the 27th BCS viva voce has been proved.
 
For a better image
During the 24 years of Pakistan and 36 years of Bangladesh, our nation has seen gradual progress in political, economic, social and religious harmony.
 
Our cricket
The progress of Bangladesh cricket team was unimaginable a few years ago, but now it is a reality. They are now trying their best in every match.
 
Politicians' misdeeds
I do not really understand how I should express my deep shock at what I have read, heard and seen recently in the newspapers.
 
Good governance
Human development and civilized living always depended on good governance. Nothing has changed so far as the importance of developing good institutions is concerned.
