Treat them more humanely
I was shocked to see the photo of an elderly woman near the ruins of her shanty in Kalyanpur slum published in The Daily Star on January 23, 2016. First these poor people were evicted from their shanties and later, a mysterious fire burned down a number of shops and homes. I request the authorities concerned to immediately rehabilitate them. How can they let them live under the open sky in this bone-chilling winter? Before conducting any eviction drive, the authorities must ensure proper alternative living arrangements for them.
