Repair our damaged road

We, the inhabitants of Ilsha, Banshkhali upazila under Chittagong district are suffering from poor road conditions in the areas between Gunagori and the Musharraf Ali Mia Bazaar. The damaged road makes it extremely difficult for students and working professionals to travel, and sometimes even causes CNG vans to turn over and cause road crashes.
We strongly urge the authorities to take steps to repair the damaged road.

Anti-smoking laws must be implemented

A study has reported 40 percent of the population in Bangladesh to be smokers, the majority of whom are young. Despite the existence of laws banning smoking in public places, people can be seen defying the law, contributing to the already widespread heart conditions, chronic respiratory illnesses, and even cancer. The laws against smoking should be practiced more stringently if the authorities want to minimise these health risks in our society.
