If techies are interested (and this is already taking off in India) a Taiwanese company has offered a limited edition run of GPS modules at some nominal cost. This hardware needs to be integrated to a phone or other input-output device or devices (a smartphone is very handy for this purpose), by building whatever custom software application you want.

Basically, if some group is interested in doing what the post below requests, it can be done quite cheaply as a do-it-yourself project. Please contact me offlist.

[chottala.com] joint force should be sent back in cantonment ASAP.

When i was in Bangladesh n December,2007 one of my relatives who was then in norther district as magistrate  told me that  Major. colonels have started taking bribe  from criminals. Every month they pay 50,000-100,000 tk to the joint force office and remain safe.

 

 I had nothing to disbelieve him as know him as a person who makes no false statement.

 

Recently published TIB report has proved him true.  TIB report said that joint force has obtained money threatening people of  torture.

 



Actually, our arm forces  don't not include angels. Bangladeshi people are in arm force. However, high authority involved in purchase of arms are involved in such corruption.

 

 But long term deputation of  large number of army personnel in civilian position have opened  scope of mass involvement in corruption.

 

 Such mass involvement in corruption is dangerous for arm force and country.

 

 So arm force ,joint force should be withdrawn immediately and get them back in cantonment.

 

 Another thing. deputation of army personnel in civil positions is not Good for army, civilian and country.

 

 So civil administration should take decision that if any army personnel invade any civil position, then no civilian,from top to bottom, will cooperate with the army personnel.

 

 this should be the open secret decision of civil administration. this should  be taught  every civil servant during the training.

 

In this way we can make army personnel not to dare to invade any civil position.

অদক্ষ তত্ববধায়কদের জন্য দেশের প্রতিদিনের ক্ষতি কত শত কোটি টাকা? আল্লাহ যাকে যখন ইচ্ছা ক্ষমতা দান করেন,মাইনাস টু ফরমুলায় তাই হাসেন ।
