Because what needs to be explained is the inexplicable. What needs to be explicated is the silence in the face of horror.

It hasn’t deviated from this genocidal course since October 8, 2023.

Buriganga River, once the vibrant lifeline of Dhaka, is now fighting for survival. In Shyampur industrial belt, its waters have turned toxic because of serious contamination by untreated waste from nearly 50 textiles, dyeing, and heavy industrial units.

Most of the vehicles, particularly buses and private cars, are not following the government-fixed speed limits while running on roads and highways across the country, thus posing a potential risk of fatal accidents. The traffic situation of roads in the metropolitan cities is just horrible as almost all drivers run their vehicles recklessly, not giving a damn about the speed limit. Lack of proper guidelines is one of the main reason for not following the speed limits.
