Subject: Application for measures against unauthorised outsiders

Sir,

On behalf of the students of your college, I would like to draw your attention to the disturbance caused by unauthorised outsiders on our campus during class hours. Their presence and disruptive behaviour make it difficult for us to attend classes peacefully and move around the campus confidently.

We request you to strengthen supervision at the college entrance and ensure that visitors enter only with permission. Regular monitoring during class hours would also help maintain a safe learning environment.

We therefore request you to take suitable measures against unauthorised entry and disturbance on the campus.

Yours obediently,
Rasel Khan
On behalf of the students
Government Titumir College, Dhaka

Moral values are principles that guide our behaviour and help us distinguish right from wrong. Honesty, fairness, kindness, respect and responsibility are important examples. These values influence how we treat our families, friends and the wider community. An honest person earns trust, while a responsible person recognises the consequences of personal choices. Respect encourages us to listen to different views and protect the dignity of others. Kindness helps us notice suffering and offer support. Moral values also matter in education and professional life. Students should avoid cheating, acknowledge others’ work and treat classmates fairly. Workers should carry out their duties honestly and consider the people affected by their decisions. Values do not remove every difficulty, and people may disagree about particular choices. However, reflection and a willingness to learn can help us act more fairly. Families and educational institutions can teach these habits through example as well as discussion. Society benefits when people practise what they expect from others. By applying moral values in everyday situations, we can build stronger relationships and contribute to a more trustworthy and considerate community. Their importance lies not merely in knowing good principles but in following them consistently, especially when doing so is difficult.

Road accidents cause deaths, injuries and lasting hardship for many families in Bangladesh. Reckless driving, speeding, unsafe overtaking and disregard for traffic rules contribute to these accidents. Poorly maintained vehicles and roads, inadequate signs and unsafe crossings can increase the risks. Some drivers also work long hours without enough rest, which can reduce their concentration. The effects extend far beyond the road. Survivors may face disability, lengthy treatment and loss of income. Families can lose their main earners, while businesses and public services suffer from disruption. These losses also place pressure on hospitals and emergency services. Reducing accidents requires careful driving, effective enforcement of traffic rules and proper training for drivers. Vehicles need regular safety checks, and roads need suitable lighting, signs and pedestrian facilities. Passengers and pedestrians should also follow safety rules. Coordinated action can make journeys safer and reduce the suffering caused by preventable road accidents.
