Remove the speed breakers
I have seen lots of speed breakers at Shewrapara and Kazipara of Mirpur, Tejgaon I.A., West Rampura, East Rampura, Bashabo, in front of Motijheel Ideal School, Sipahibagh and Adabar, among others. I do not know whether the two city corporations have approved the construction of those disturbing speed breakers, but I think that those are slowing the speed of human life and helping miscreants loot valuables of passers-by, auto-rickshaw and rickshaw passengers because no means of transportation can move fast to escape disaster.
So, I shall request the two city corporations to demolish useless and distressing speed breakers as quick as possible.

Sports in Bangladesh
It is for sure that Bangladesh is one of the weakest countries in the world of sports. We cannot think of annexing any gold medal from the Asian Games, let alone the World Olympics, nor can the officials of any federation give us possible date. Thanks to the three shooters namely Asif Hossain Khan, Atiqur Rahman and Abdus Sattar Nino for their great achievement in bringing gold medals from the Commonwealth Games. We cannot say whether any fourth shooter will delight us in future.
In this connection, we shall request the Ministry of Sports and the National Sports Council to take care of the shooting-the only discipline that can secure gold medal for us from the Asian Games.
Since we are weak in team discipline, individual events can give us hope.
