Bamboo as substitute for iron!

The word “bamboo” dominated headlines of news dailies in Bangladesh last year, since bamboo sticks had been used instead of iron rod in the construction of a building of Department of Agriculture Extension (DAE) in Darshana upazila of Chuadanga. The phenomenon has now reappeared again in Bandarban Government College.

Why this repetition? This is a really grave and heinous offence that can destroy resources and take many lives. It is high time that the authorities looked seriously into this matter, even if the culprits are from the ruling party as mentioned in news reports.
