Exchange value of taka

Tawhid Shams Chowdhury BRAC University
Exchange value of our taka reached an all time low during the tenure of the present government. Today, Tk 500 is a meagre sum. Considering the pros and cons of the status quo, my request to the government is: introduce Tk 1,000 note.

My second query to the government is regarding the traffic problems at Mohakhali, Dhaka. The Mohakhali flyover was built during the tenure of the present government but it has proved to be ineffectual as the traffic jam of Mohakhali has further increased. Urban planners were at odds with each other regarding the construction of the flyover. But, a silver lining still prevails there. The urban planners are unanimous in their opinion that if a road is built from Agargaon to Jahangir Gate and the road from Jahangir Gate through Cantonment and northwards is altered to meet the needs of the civilian traffic, there might be a feasible solution to the question of traffic jam at this point.
