This is the second editorial that we have to write in a space of less than two weeks on the food crisis in Thanchi. It does not seem that anyone in the government is too concerned about what is happening there.

The very existence of indigenous people deep inside Thanchi upazila of Bandarban remains shrouded in dense jungle; local representatives and other authorities remember them on rare occasions, like elections, and seldom pay heed to their problems.

The report in this paper, carrying the news of a large number of families in near starving condition in Thanchi upazilla of Bandarban is grim as well as shocking.
