Sound pollution


First I would like to express my deep concern and grief over the brutal killing of our national leader Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, 29 years ago Obviously the day 15 August is charged with emotion as far as the followers of the AL are concerned. I pray to the Almighty so that He keeps the soul of our great leader in eternal peace.

But do the AL and its supporting bodies keep themselves doing the same? Every year they are creating unbearable sound pollution by loud speakers ringing the speech of 7th March , patriotic songs, and similar things repeatedly from dawn to dusk in almost all residential areas of the cities on 15 August. The worst affected segments are the children and old who stay at home all the time.
