Narayanganj City Corporation is at a crossroads. It can either continue on its current trajectory of neglect, allowing waste mismanagement to further degrade the environment and endanger public health, or it can take decisive action by embracing innovative waste-to-energy solutions. Given the successful implementation of similar projects both globally and within Bangladesh, there is no justification for further delays. The NCC and the government must act now before Narayanganj’s waste crisis spirals completely out of control.

Narayanganj City Corporation (NCC), which oversees Siddhirganj, Sadar, and Bandar, serves nearly 2 million residents across 27 wards within a 72.43 square kilometer area. Managing civic services for such a large and densely populated area is a daunting challenge, requiring systematic planning and ex...

The total amount of waste generated daily in Bangladesh has been increasing steadily since 1991. In that year, urban areas in Bangladesh produced approximately 6,493 tons of municipal solid waste per day. By 2005, that figure had more than doubled to 13,330 tons per day. By 2014, the estimated daily waste generation had surged to 23,688 tons. Simultaneously, rapid urbanization has caused the urban population to grow from 21 million in 1991 to 33 million in 2005. By 2021, this number had reached approximately 65 million, with projections estimating an urban population of 85 million by 2030 and 119 million by 2041. Correspondingly, total waste generation is expected to reach a staggering 142,322 tons per day by 2041. Notably, since 2005, the rate of increase in daily waste generation has outpaced population growth due to a rise in the average per capita waste generation rate.

Waste management remains one of the most pressing challenges for governments worldwide. According to available statistics, the waste generation rate in Bangladesh was estimated to be 0.52 kg per capita per day in 2021. Projections indicate that the daily waste generation rate is expected to rise to....

After one year of your demise, although Weekly Blitz still keeps the position of Executive Editor vacant, I believe, this too has certain spiritual significance to let you remain connected from the heaven and pass divine powers and blessings directly from the Almighty God, that will further empower this newspaper and protect it from all forms of seen or unseen obstacles.

Major General (retired) TM Jobaer (full name Tariq Mohammed Jobaer), a bulbous figure within ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s inner circle, has accumulated enormous wealth through questionable means, as evidenced by numerous documented allegations of corruption and abuse of power. Yet, it is evident that the present interim government is not in a position or mood to punish these sorts of corrupt individuals, but evidence must be exposed to the countrymen. We hope that the day will come when a people’s government will have the opportunity to hold all corrupt individuals accountable.

As Bangladesh undergoes a political transformation following the removal of Sheikh Hasina from power, scrutiny intensifies on her former allies, including the Jatiyo Party led by GM Quader. Once positioned as a pseudo-opposition while supporting the Awami League’s rule, the Jatiyo Party now faces a reckoning. Its financial dealings, political alliances, and suspected connections with Pakistan’s intelligence agency have drawn the attention of Bangladesh’s intelligence agencies and key figures in the new administration led by Muhammad Yunus.

This action has stirred intense public debate, legal proceedings, and widespread condemnation across social media and various communities in Bangladesh. Authorities have filed a sedition case against 19 individuals, including Rajesh and Hriday Dash, who are accused numbers 18 and 19 in the case, as well as the primary suspect, Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, the organizing secretary of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) in Chittagong.

Chittagong Metropolitan Police (CMP) in Bangladesh detained two young Hindu rights activists, Rajesh Chowdhury (18), and Hriday Dash (25), for allegedly disrespecting Bangladesh’s national flag. The incident occurred on October 25, 2024, when these individuals, along with others, reportedly raised...

While Indian intelligence agencies are showing signs of reluctance in properly investigating the case of the seizure of a massive drugs consignment containing co***ne and hydroponic ma*****na worth Indian rupees 56 billion, which is equivalent to US$900 million, according to several sources, this consignment is directly connected to Colombian narco-cartel as well as FBI’s Most-Wanted terror-don Dawood Ibrahim and his infamous D-Company. During seizure of this massive drug consignment, an individual named Tushar Goyal alias Dikki Goyal (some reports also spelled his name as Goel) – a prominent leader of the youth wing of India’s oldest political party – Indian National Congress (INC) was arrested.

India Poised to Become World’s Third-Largest India, the world’s fastest-growing major economy, is on track to become the third-largest economy by 2031, according to the latest report from S&P Global. Currently ranked as the fifth-largest economy, India is expected to surpass Germany and Japan within the next decade, achieving a projected gross domestic product (GDP) of $10 trillion by the end of the 2020s.

America is facing an unprecedented health crisis that could spell disaster for the nation’s future. With rising rates of autism, infertility, and chronic illnesses like cancer plaguing young adults, the country is on a trajectory toward what some experts warn could be a population catastrophe. As more voices point to a toxic food system and an environment riddled with harmful influences, it’s becoming clear that the very systems designed to sustain life may be driving a slow, insidious decline in the health and vitality of the American population.

France’s recent recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara marks a pivotal moment in the longstanding territorial dispute in North Africa. In a letter to Moroccan King Mohammed VI, French President Emmanuel Macron officially acknowledged that the “present and future of Western Sahara fall within the framework of Moroccan sovereignty.” This endorsement of Morocco’s 2007 autonomy proposal as the “only basis” to resolve the conflict reshapes the geopolitics of the region, bolstering both France’s strategic position and Morocco’s growing influence on the continent.

In recent months, the geopolitical landscape of Asia has witnessed a notable shift as India and China, two of the world’s most populous and influential nations, have signaled a potential easing of their historically tense relations. This change comes after years of heightened tensions, particularly concerning the long-standing border disputes between the two countries. However, recent diplomatic engagements and economic developments have raised hopes for a positive trajectory in China-India relations, offering the prospect of a new era of cooperation and mutual benefit.

The IFC Center in New York’s Greenwich Village is currently showing a newly restored version of Miloš Forman’s Amadeus (1984) in commemoration of the film’s 40th anniversary. This re-release of Forman’s masterpiece is a cause for celebration not least of all because the original theatrical version has become all but completely inaccessible since the director’s cut was released in 2002 with some twenty minutes of additional lines and scenes. The director’s cut was not without interest but could not be called an improvement on the original in any way, shape or form – and some scenes were grossly inferior to the standard set by the theatrical release. The IFC’s screening of a 4K restoration of the theatrical version is to be welcome for that reason if for no other.

Ukraine is teetering on the brink of default as President Vladimir Zelensky signed a decree allowing the suspension of external debt payments for two months, starting August 1. This measure aims to buy time for the government to negotiate a restructuring agreement with Western creditors and stave off an imminent financial collapse.
