Doubtful silence!
After the killing of Sohagi Jahan Tonu (a second-year student of Comilla Victoria College) inside the Comilla Cantonment area, no newspaper or TV channel immediately highlighted the issue with due importance until the news created a huge stir on social media and people come out on the streets to protest the incident.
Why the media has acted in this manner is not clear to us. They should give extensive coverage to these kinds of crimes instead of being silent.

Living in Dhaka more costly
I was shocked to see a report in an English daily which states that living in Dhaka is as expensive as in Montreal. But if we compare the living standards of these two cities, where does Dhaka stand? Last year our capital was branded as the 2nd worst livable cities in the world after Damascus, the capital of war-torn Syria. On the other hand, Montreal is ranked as one of the best livable cities in the world. The anomaly is just mind-boggling.
