Ensure women’s safety
Almost every day, news of women becoming victims to horrifying fate reaches us. They are being raped, irrespective of their age and most of the times they are murdered by strangulation or by weapons.
This fiendish crime is increasing day by day because the culprits are not punished as they should. The rapists must get death penalty for the heinous deed and only it could rein in these unspeakable incidents.
I hope the government will consider it and give safety to women which they have the right to get.

Who will laugh and who will cry?
In our country, inflation is not unusual. But the exorbitant growth of inflation raises questions and controversies. Who will laugh at this price increase and who will cry?
In remote rural areas where load-shedding affects students of ordinary and low-income families studying under lantern light, their fuel costs are increasing. Boats of gypsy people and fishermen are flamed with kerosene all year round. How much do they earn? How to mitigate the pain? Ride sharing, delivery man’s motorcycle fuel consumption will increase. At the beginning of the month, such pressure is not acceptable. Their miseries know no bounds.
On the other hand, the business class has been benefited in the first phase. They sold previously purchased fuel at inflated prices. The government should supervise with the necessary manpower in different places so that businessmen do not give less weight and energy related syndicates do not create artificial crisis. Upper class people should not buy much together. Responsibility and liability cannot be avoided in any way. Government should take strict action in this regard.
