Once widely abundant, the freshwater for Dhaka dwellers continues to deplete at a dramatic rate and may disappear far below the ground.
Groundwater not so uncharted anymore
Groundwater is indeed a huge wealth of Bangladesh, but this ample freshwater resource is now at a serious risk of gradual depletion and contamination.
Garment sector sets worst example among industries
The R&D allocation is too meagre for an economy like Bangladesh
Farmers kick-start a freshwater machine
Water is everywhere in and around Bangladesh, yet the lack of freshwater is one of its most pressing concerns.
No hope for the new poor
Money is not a problem, and the government too intends to support the poor in their dire need. What’s the problem then? The government does not know who to help out!
Opinion: Govt shoots a messenger
She wasn’t handcuffed. Yet, she was indeed guarded by hordes of police personnel all the time: from custody to court. Following an overnight stay in custody, she was taken to court with a “guard of dishonour” and then hauled on to a prison van to jail on Tuesday.
