From my childhood I'm hearing about this monga quite perennially. But no govt, neither Awami League nor BNP, even not Ershad, did anything substantial about this problem. I don't understand what's the difficulty in addressing such a humanitarian issue. Now I understand that this government has to do nothing, but to care a little to declare the monga as a national disaster.

There are a good number of international organisations, as well as foreign governments to care about this. But our wise (!) govt has to come forward to address the issue.
