I am from the same locality where jute mill tragedy is taking place for last 8 years. All of my neighbours, friends, and few of my relatives are in this way or that way connected to jute mills. Though my family is not related to jute mills, I have touching memories about it. Few years back, two of our tenants flee away at night , as they just were unable to pay rents. They were good people, we don't curse them for some amount of money. I saw people, whom I know for my childhood, in local market to just hoovering around fishes, they can't buy. I remember that they were the big buyers just few years before.
