Committed to PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO KNOW Vol. 5 Num 893 Fri. December 01, 2006       Letters to Editor Don't cry for me, Dhaka! Asrar Chowdhury, Dept of Economics, Jahangirnagar University I enjoyed the British High Commissioner to Bangladesh, HE Anwar Chowdhury's "Dhaka: Home away from Home" (DS 1 November 2006). Besides giving a nice literary description of Dhaka, HE Anwar Chowdhury raised food for thought in one sentence, "Dhaka is looking after millions of people, but who is looking after Dhaka"? This single sentence aptly describes any sensible person's melancholy for today's Dhaka. What was Dhaka even two decades ago, and what is it now! This ought to be a wake-up call for everybody. It's still not too late to act. If we fail to do so, in less than one generation, we'll be singing, "Don't cry for me, Dhaka"!
