Airport security and mosquitoes
Sir
Recently I traveled to a foreign country and returned back yesterday. I have noticed that the airport security system has improved significantly and discipline was found in all the service counters. Meanwhile we had to face mosquitoes in rather cleaned departure lounge. I hope the concerned authority would take appropriate measures to control mosquitoes inside the airport lounges. It is important because these mosquitoes may act as vectors for spreading dengue or Zika virus or any other mosquito borne diseases.

Billions bunked-off from banks!
Sir
A number of dailies of 24th March reported more news about the un-believable Bangladesh Banks theft of billions of takas, through computer trickery; calling the ex-clean money as dirty money having managed to loose it? Ask how; the answer may be: by the kick of a cow; and that must have been a millions of dollar worthy cunning and clever cows on pasture at the floor of Bangladesh Bank! There are many questions; but most will remain unanswered, and will be let out in garbed versions if and when; no one knows! This may well be the white collar crime of the century or decades of centuries; manipulated and made possible by Bengalis who are used daily to hear about corruption (another way of stealing money); that is more or less an every day occurrence somewhere or other in this land of Bangladesh! This is the boldest, biggest bank heist in history; as a few dailies said! May be the Bengali deserves a ignoble prize for setting a record for unarmed robbery; with none hurt physically; and the amount robbed a sum of say 9 or maybe 1 with many many zeroes alongside! While the dirty laundering prize has been won hands down by the Philippines!
