Premiere Responds!
A student from Patuakhali recently wrote a letter to the Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, requesting her to build a bridge on the river in Patuakhali's Mirzaganj upazila. His request came from his concern for the safety of his parents, as the river is quite turbulent and they have to travel through it very often. Many a life has been taken due to the unsafe route. The Prime Minister was quick to respond to the little boy's request and has assured him that she will take steps to fix the problem with the very bridge that he has asked for!
Run-up to US Elections
For a very long time, the world has been eagerly watching who takes the seat as the next President of the United States. This decision is one that affects the entire world at the same time, as we have witnessed time and again. After Barack Obama had the seat for two terms in a row, it is time for all of us to get used to someone new. With no hope for Bernie Sanders, America's choices are Hillary Clinton and, of course, Donald Trump. Who will ultimately win the title is yet to be seen. But another thing everyone will keep a close watch on is how the decision will affect the Muslim world.
