Two sides of Eid festivals

Every year, the two Eid festivals bring both joy as well as apprehension for the people. There is no need to explain what joy we get. On these big occasions, people get together with their near and dear ones, take delicious food and wear new clothes. These are the occasions when businessmen become happy as they get the highest business opportunities each year.brThe homebound people have to face tremendous hassles. Price-hike makes life miserable. Snatching and mugging increase as the crooks take advantage of crowding and traffic jams. City becomes more crowded with the rush of floating migrated people from different parts of the country.brRafiqul Alam brMouchak, Dhaka
