Introduce faster train like Green Arrow

The 3up/ 4 down Green Arrow Express Train running between Dhaka and Chittagong was a model to the train passengers and it used to earn a handsome revenue everyday. But all on a sudden after the independence, the train was withdrawn to the dismay of the passengers. A that time, Green Arrow was the second fastest train of the Bangladesh Railway The fastest train was 23up/24 down Rocket Express Train running between Khulna and Parbatipur.
However, considering the popularity and past tradition, we urge the Railway Ministry to bring back the Green Arrow on the track and at the same time we request the ministry to arrange publication of the time-table again, closed early nineties.
Provision for faster mobility is a blessing for the economy everywhere.

Sonapur-Kamardia road needs repair

We, the people of village Kamardia under Ramganj Pouroshobha of Lakshmipur district, use Sonapur to Kamardia road for all communications. Some three lac people of this locality depend on this road. There is no alternative. This road, a very old one, is not properly maintained. It has become almost unusable. Because of damaged pitches, holes and muddy condition accidents occur on daily basis. The people of the area are victims of negligence of the concerned authority. The aged ones and young kids suffer most.
There being no alternative road communication, I, on behalf of those helpless, seek to draw attention of the Minister for Communication to the sufferings of the people of the locality hoping that he would instruct the concerned authority to repair the road from Sonapur to Kamardia of Ramganj, Lakshmipur.
We hope, the Minister would take the matter urgently.
