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.

Bring youth gang leaders to justice
In the cities and towns of the country, the trend of youth gangs is becoming increasingly menacing day by day. They are involved in various crimes ranging from drug addiction to theft, extortion, eve-teasing, rape, murder, and drug trafficking. Last Friday (February 9), in response to the protest of female students in Shrinagar, Munshiganj, a youth gang from the area murdered an SSC examinee by stabbing. The deceased youth's name is Nirab Hossen. Although the police arrested 9 youths, the accused in Nirab Hossen's murder yesterday (February 10), we express our gratitude to the law enforcement agencies for swiftly apprehending the perpetrators. I want to ask in addition, whether the local senior brothers or leaders of the youth gang, under whose shelter that gang has grown, will be arrested? Because research indicates that every youth gang in the country has multiple senior brothers. They operate them in secret.
