I am sorry that at the cost of being termed cynical, I will continue my war of words with all that I find wrong. The toilets at ZIA are dirty (a terrible understatement). They are filthy, disgusting and not fit for a roadside toilet, let alone an international airport. I don't understand what this galaxy of airforce officers are doing at CAAB. The present state of ZIA doesn't need anyone to look after. It's like our cricket team. Come what may I stay

(as it is). Whether it's the toilets (the very mention is nauseating), the baggage section, the pathetic immigration, the customs, name any and the picture is one of total apathy. The CAAB officials frequently go abroad. Don't they see the other airports in the world? Or they in their eternal smugness shrug off anything to do with Bangladesh for which they are being maintained by the poor tax payers. Irony, irony that is the name of Bangladesh.

Who will rescue us ? For heaven's sake and for once these guys should wake up from their deep slumber and do what is required to project a good image of a country.
