Karate, a defence against stalking
Sumi Akhter, a young girl from Mostafi village in the district of Lalmonirhat, said, “As I know karate, no stalker dares tease me. He knows that I can take care of myself.” Inspired by her success, many female students in the district have taken karate training, according to a report.
We think that every female should know kung-fu and karate, because these two branches of the martial art can be effective weapons against the stalkers, torturer husbands and their kindred.
When the State is unable to give them protection, the option is martial art. We, therefore, request the country’s district and upazila administrations to arrange karate and kung-fu training for every female girl.

Congratulation boys
The nation congratulates the Bangladesh cricket team for their triumph in the first one-day international against the visiting Zimbabwe. Our cricketers swamped the visitors by a big margin of 145 runs to the delight of the stadium packed crowd. We think that Bangladesh will repeat their performance in the remaining two ODI and two T20.
