Who will be responsible ?
Recently, about 30,000 birds were killed in Hakaluku of Moulvibazar in Sylhet. This news has been confirmed by the investigation team sent by Bangladesh Paribesh Andolon (BAPA). The investigation team also noticed that these poisoned birds were being sold in market. Unfortunately, the environment ministry and local administration are reluctant to take the necessary steps against the killers and to prevent people from eating these poisoned birds. Now imagine if two persons eat one bird, it may kill 60,000 people, or can cause great physical damage to them . Isn't it alarming?
If no action is taken to save the lives of civilians, is it essential to have food, environment and home ministry in Bangladesh? In this regard, I would also like to remind the authorities concerned that poisonous chemicals are being mixed with fruits and vegetables throughout the country and no effective measure is being taken to stop this terrible crime.
