Increasing radicalisation :
There has been another raid on a militant den, this time in Sitakunda, Chittagong. Four militants have reportedly been killed, and the operation dragged on for 19 hours!
It is quite disturbing to read the news of more and more militant dens being uncovered and the threat of increasing radicalisation in the country is real.
We must turn our attention to the youth, a large number of whom are the targets of terrorist outfits. The government must work towards increasing jobs, affordable education and more spaces for cultural activities instead of simply issuing hollow statements. The responsibility falls on the government to create avenues to engage the youth in a productive manner so that they are not blinded and brainwashed by destructive ideologies.

Rajshahi-C’ganj road in bad shape
The Rajshahi-Chapainawabganj Road is very important from both commercial point of view and passengers transporting. Considering its importance, proper care should be taken to keep it useable.
But the Chapainawabganj-Godagari portion of the road, about 18 kilometers, has become rough and tough, unfit to traffic, due to lack of maintenance. So, immediate measures should be taken to repair the damaged portion of the road before further worsening.
