Prevent campus
bullying
Almostevery school in our country is proudly boasting about having the best facilities for their students. But in utter despair, those facilities don’t seem to cover prevention of bullying. In fact, it’s the schools’ duty to look after their students’ well-being – both physical and mental.
Very often, victims of bullying are too intimidated to share their feelings. Therefore, schools should carefully handle these matters. Every student should be treated equally and teachers must be mindful of any kind of alien behaviour observed in the classrooms. Measures should be taken against any kind of bullies.

Get the prices
under control
A rise in the prices of essential food items has reached the highest by this time. Greedy traders have now the excuse of a war in Europe on their side, even in cases of non-imported goods. But will our authorities simply accept this hike in prices as the norm?
Especially when the job market is still recovering from the effects of pandemic-induced lockdowns, do citizens not deserve some empathy? Instead, the price hike for food only seems to be getting worse. This cannot be acceptable and authorities must stamp down on traders who are merely taking advantage of the situation.

Protect Dhaka’s Air from Pollution
Dhaka is among the top five cities in the world with the worst air pollution. For the last few weeks, we have got many news reports on how unhealthy Dhaka’s air is. We got a little respite the last two years due to the Covid-19 lockdowns. But now that things are getting back to normal, the air pollution is, too. What exactly is stopping the authorities from addressing this issue?
We have been making headlines for air pollution for months! I don’t want to die of lung disease because of toxic air. So authority concerned must do something to save us from polluted air.
