Why people suffer amid the university demand demonstrations?

Currently, there are 53 public universities in the country. Among them, students of seven colleges affiliated with Dhaka University (DU) have been protesting for the establishment of a full-fledged university, demanding the creation of an independent university. Over the past few weeks, these students have gathered on various roads in Dhaka almost every day, except for weekends and government holidays.

Stop using banned polythene

The discovery of polythene in human history is a significant event. Polythene is something that does not degrade. It does not mix with the soil, nor does it rot. The same polythene can be reused, and new polythene can be made from it. Its use for packaging is easy and inexpensive. Therefore, plastic has been widely used for packaging products. Plastic bags have also become popular in Bangladesh over the last three to four decades. Where people once took bags made of fabrics to the market, now it is no longer necessary. A free plastic bag is given with any purchase.

Dismantle the potato syndicate

Potato is an essential vegetable in our lives. There is hardly any dish that does not include potato. After rice, potato is probably the most in-demand food item. It is often said that Bengalis live on fish and rice, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that they live on rice and potatoes. Now-a-days, many Bengalis no longer eat fish regularly, but it is hard to imagine a day without potato. When there are no other vegetables at home, many families simply make mashed potatoes and have it with rice. However, even this simple potato is now out of reach for many. At the retail level, the price of potato is currently 70 to 75 taka per kilogram, which is almost the same as the price of fine rice and even more expensive than coarse rice. In such a situation, low-income families have to carefully calculate whether they can afford potatoes at all.
