Spanish poet
Timely decision on imports
In memory of the world-renowned Spanish poet Federico García Lorca, Sunil Gangopadhyay wrote a stirring poem titled ‘Kobir Mrittu’ ("The Death of the Poet."). In one line of that poem, he wrote, "A ginger trader, lighting a ship-branded bidi, said, 'Even green chili peppers don't have that much spice these days!' In Sunil Gangopadhyay's poem, there is a lament about the spiciness of green chili peppers, but currently, the spiciness of green chili peppers is beyond tolerance across the country. According to information published in the media, green chili peppers that used to sell for 100 Taka per kilogram are now being sold for 300 to 400 Taka, depending on the region. This has become a severe additional burden for ordinary people in a high-inflation market.
