I have written many mails complaining about many things but this is a mail where I am expressing my extreme gratitude to 'The Daily Star'. I earnestly believe, if I don't do so it will be doing an injustice to the daily. The reason for thanking so is: I wrote regarding an arch bridge to be built on road no 3A Dhanmondi couple of months ago. I wrote about the difficulties the dwellers may come across and those who might be benefited from it. But I was surprised to see that as soon as it came to The Daily Star's 'letter to the

editor page' it worked like elixir. To my utter surprise, after two days I started noticing the change. The temporary store (meant to keep all the materials for building the bridge) was demolished. All the materials were taken back. And now the whole place is very neat and clean. I think the government has decided to call off the decision. Whenever I look at the site where the bridge was supposed to be built makes me unbelievably elated thinking how powerful a newspaper can be. Hats off to you 'The Daily Star'
