Flyover boon or bane?

There are 17 railway crossings in Dhaka city. The ill-fated city dwellers have witnessed the mockery of their time, money and energy in the name of the construction of the Mohakhali flyover, the usefulness of which is still doubtful. I wonder why the big mouthed decision makers of the communication ministry don't shift the railway station from Kamalapur to Tongi, as all the trains connecting all the rail destinations in this country go through the Tongi station. This would undoubtedly relieve this near-to-collapse city to great extent.

Also the cost of rearranging rail tracks and building a modern railway station outside the capital would definitely be far less than building 16 more flyovers in this densely populated city.

Bad news part 1 : Bush re-elected part 2 : Arafat's demise

Yet another bad news, after the re-election of Bush, President Yasser Arafat leaves the stage leaving the seekers of truth and justice to utter shock and disbelief. Its indeed irritating to read about the ourrageous comments of Ariel Sharon on the death of the great leader of Palestine. Also, its obvious that its the division among the Muslim nations which is the root cause of their misery, had they been united in their stand, it would not have been so easy for urban terrorists like Sharon and Bush to say rubbish and wage war in the banner of WMD, the joke of the millennium.
