Energy crisis
We have been passing through a great hardship. Energy crisis has made our life miserable. Being a third world and developing country it may happen, but when it reaches its peak , it becomes intolerable. If a country wants to develop, it must ensure proper and sufficient energy supply. To develop social and economic conditions there is no alternative to it. In the context of Bangladesh, our social and economic progress is at stake. Our students, farmers, industrialists have been badly affected by loadshedding. Students have to sit for exams under candlelight, agricultural costs rise owing to high costs of fuel and shortage of energy supply, industrialisation process is going to suffer because of the short supply of gas and electricity. On the other hand, our social life is limping.
Though the privileged class has no headache about it, I think now is the right time to address the issue if we don't want to fall further behind in development.
