Human rights of tea workers must be upheld
Due to low wages and deprivation of all kinds of civic facilities, tea workers are lagging behind in all indicators of quality of life. It is alleged that even though new wages are supposed to be implemented every year, the tea workers have not been given new wages in the last 19 months. Tea workers were protesting to demand an increase in wages. When the owner offered to add 14 taka to the current wage to make the total 134 taka, the tea workers rejected the proposal and were adamant on demanding a daily wage of 300 taka. In this case, the comments of the labor leaders are that it is difficult to live on a salary of 120 taka; In addition, workers are not paid the 120 taka they deserve if they fail to pick at least 23 kg of tea leaves per day. However, tk. 170 has been announced as the latest daily wage for tea workers.
In this case, the government should think more. There is no doubt that tea industry will be at the pinnacle of development if the obstacles in the development of the tea industry with immense potential are removed, the industry is uplifted to the modern and expected standards and the fair rights and quality of life of the workers are improved, there is no doubt.

Emphasis should be placed on cyber security
Cyber crime is criminal activities carried out by means of computers or the internet. It committed through the Internet and electronic devices for the purpose of physical or mental harm or espionage by state or non-state entities, theft of information through the Internet, distortion of information, money laundering, financial fraud, or interference with state interests through the Internet. Everything we use like Email, Facebook, Twitter and other social media, online shopping, banking services are directly part of the cyber world. With the passage of time, as we are getting used to roaming in the cyber world, criminals are also using this platform for their criminal organisation.
Therefore, necessary steps should be taken quickly to ensure cyber security to prevent cyber crime.
