There are no attendance and casualty records for milestones!

Opinion

Milestone, which keeps daily attendance records, has no record of the day of the plane crash, nor of the casualty!

📍

The day after the accident, when demands surfaced on social media, someone filed a writ in the High Court, and the High Court issued a rule saying, “A high-powered investigation committee must be formed”!

Without providing any evidence of whether the pilot was in contact with the control tower until the last moment, the ISPR said in a statement: “To avoid a major accident and major damage, the pilot of the aircraft, Flight Lieutenant Md. Tauqir Islam, made every effort to take the aircraft from a densely populated area to a sparsely populated area. Unfortunately, the aircraft crashed into a two-story building of Milestone School and College in Diabari, Dhaka.”

But the pilot ejected and fell into a neighboring building!

On July 22nd, after students protested all day at the Secretariat, Milestone, and various roads, the forces attacked them, beat them with batons, and arrested them. On the same day, the Chief Advisor held a meeting with four groups of his government’s ‘stakeholders’ called an ‘all-party meeting’ and had a hilarious photo session with food and drinks!

Let’s see how the people of the new settlement, free from ‘fascism’, interpret and analyze these and what their response to the solution is.
