Why burden citizens with higher fuel costs instead of cutting less urgent expenses? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Recently, the chairman of Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) wrote to the Energy Division about the corporation’s financial crisis and losses. In the letter, dated September 8, two factors were identified as the main causes of BPC’s financial difficulties. The first was that domestic fuel prices had not been increased regularly in line with global prices. The second was a change in the method for assessing duties and taxes on petroleum products introduced in June 2025. Under the new system,
Why can’t farmers get fertiliser despite adequate government stocks? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Farmers across the country have been facing a fertiliser crisis for more than a month. Although the government says the country has adequate stocks, farmers are unable to buy fertiliser according to their needs and on time at government-fixed prices. Yet, for farming, fertiliser must be used in the right quantities at the right time; otherwise, expected yields cannot be achieved. The ongoing shortage is therefore putting agriculture and food security at risk. After planting Aman rice, farmers ar
Tea workers deserve fair wages, and BNP is pledge-bound to deliver them (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
At a recent event organised by the American Chamber of Commerce in Bangladesh, Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury said, “We are now moving towards open-pit coal mining in Phulbari and elsewhere because we have no other option.” However, 20 years ago, on August 30, 2006, four days after the Phulbari tragedy, the then BNP-led four-party alliance government signed a six-point agreement with protesters against open-pit coal mining. It explicitly agreed that no open-pit coal mining would t
Enforced disappearances must be investigated independently (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After experiencing the tragedy of enforced disappearances, many countries have undertaken various legal and institutional reforms to prevent such crimes from recurring. Of them, the most important measure is criminalising enforced disappearance as a distinct offence and assigning the investigation of such cases to an independent and impartial institution instead of law enforcement agencies themselves. Let’s look at some examples. In Argentina, allegations of enforced disappearance and other huma
