Plight of trafficking victims

The recent discovery of mass graves in Malaysia and Thailand shocked us deeply. It must be grinding poverty that compelled these unfortunate people to undertake such desperate journeys. It is imperative on the part of the government of the respective countries to address and solve the issue. And it is high time Bangladesh government did something to rescue its people and rehabilitate them.

US military joined the search to save migrants at sea

It is gratifying to learn that the US military has joined the race to search and save thousands of Myanmar and Bangladeshi migrants stranded at sea. They reportedly began maritime surveillance flights off the west coast of Malaysia to help locate the migrants believed to be trapped on boats at sea with no or little food and drinking water.
It is sincerely hoped that the United States and other countries will help rescue and rehabilitate the migrants stranded at sea.

Thanks to BPSC

It is praiseworthy that BPSC is going to publish the 36th BCS circular soon. This news has made thousands of candidates hopeful. The gap between the 34th and 35th BCS preliminary test was almost two years. Such a big gap is unexpected and disconcerting. We hope that BPSC will accelerate the process of BCS examination.
