In the 1950's, with great pleasure and satisfaction, we used to read high class(printing wise) newspapers/national dailies containing four to six pages at a cost of two anna (equivalent to thirteen paisa) per copy.

These days a newspaper cost Tk 7.00 to Tk 10.00 and contain 12-20 pages. But unfortunately the printing of most of the newspapers/national dailies is not of good quality. Innumerable alphabets, letters, words, sentences and paragraphs of various news, reports, articles and advertisements of the papers are indistinct and illegible which can hardly be read.

We would request the newspaper publishers to kindly look into the matter, and stop using small/mini size alphabets/letters. They should use better quality dark black ink and improve printing and publication of newspapers.

Through your daily we would also like to draw the attention of the Ministry of Information and the Press Information Department to the matter for taking immediate and pragmatic action in the interest of readers.
