Welcome, donkey!
According to a recent press report an organisation in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) area is going to import 20 donkeys to Bangladesh from a neighbouring country. Imported five female and fifteen male donkeys will be used to transport essential commodities to the remotest parts of Bandarban hill district and also to raise donkey population in Bangladesh.
Although frequently we call an obstinate or stupid person a 'Gadha' (donkey), still donkey is one of the most important species of the ass family specially reputed for their physical capability to carry huge loads gently and calmly.
Meanwhile, donkey is seldom seen in Bangladesh. Hence we welcome the initiative to rear and raise donkeys in our country.
