When children resort to crime
“When children resort to crime” by Aasha Mehreen Amin recently published in your newspaper shed light on a very crucial matter spreading poison across the residents of Dhaka, especially in areas like Uttara. The writer’s ideas that our house is the school where our daughters and sons are brought up, and that only guardians can correctly mould their future generations by resorting to fair means, in contrast to the grim realities of how children are actually being brought up, have stayed with me.
Guardians should realise that their actions can make their future generations active, fit and honest, and can bring well-being for the people of this country. We are in urgent need of many more of such articles.

Ekushey Book Fair
The annual Ekushey Book Fair held in Bangla Academy and the Suhrawardy Udyan gives hundreds of bibliophiles in Dhaka the opportunity to browse and buy books, and also meet their favourite writers in person. Most importantly, the fair boosts reading practices among the people.
We believe that holding this event in other cities across Bangladesh will further spread its benefits, highlighting the thriving and vivid cultural landscape of the country.
We hope that similar fairs will be held in other cities besides Dhaka.
