Project nightmare
The government is incurring a loss of around Tk 5.65 crore every month as a 14-month project to reopen the country's lone state-owned chemical factory could not be implemented in more than four years. The loss has been nearly Tk 82 crore since May last year, when the Tk 115 crore project to restart Chittagong Chemical Complex (CCC) in Sitakunda was extended for the second time.

Homeless people kept in wait
Over a month after the Rangamati landslides, the people, who were rendered homeless, are eagerly waiting for permanent settlement as the government is preparing a “comprehensive” policy for their rehabilitation.

Disaster warning falls on deaf ears
It is a glaring example of how ineffective measures by the local administration and people's carelessness can lead to loss of lives. Only five weeks ago, rain-induced landslides killed over 170 people in the hill districts, 120 of them in Rangamati alone. Such a high death toll should have been an eye-opener both for the administration as well as for those living precariously in the hill slopes. But yesterday's deaths of five people in a Sitakunda landslide are evidence that last month's warning fell on deaf ears.
