Faridpur General Hospital (Sadar) is currently facing significant challenges, leading to a decline in its services and reputation. The root of these issues lies in severe doctor shortages and healthcare problems that have persisted for nearly two decades. Originally a vital healthcare facility, the hospital has now lost its former glory. The hospital, which should ideally have 37 doctors, is now operating with only 10 to 12 individuals on deputation from various upazilas. Many attribute the hospital`s decline to the presence of Faridpur Medical College Hospital. Patients are often redirected to the Medical College Hospital before receiving treatment at the General Hospital, leading to a lack of medical services at the latter.

Lebanon`s Hezbollah said it launched dozens of rockets at Kiryet Shmona, an Israeli town over the border, early on Wednesday (27 March) in response to deadly Israeli strikes on the village of Hebbariyeh in southern Lebanon a day earlier.

Both sides have said they do not want all-out war and are open to a diplomatic process but strikes have picked up this week after a lull in cross-border shelling. At least seven people were killed in the Israeli strikes on Hebbariyeh, two Lebanese security sources told Reuters.

Due to high demand, farmers and wholesale traders are supplying unripe watermelons in the Sharsha and Benapole markets of Jashore to take advantage of the higher prices during Ramadan, leading to disappointment and frustration among consumers. Despite such practices being considered fraudulent under consumer rights laws, taking action against these sellers has proven challenging due to the lack of direct complaints and evidence. While instances of buyers sharing their experiences on social media and in the news have surfaced, without tangible proof, legal action remains elusive. Syeda Tamanna Tasneem, from the National Consumer Rights Protection Directorate in Jessore, emphasized the illegality of misleading consumers by supplying unripe produce instead of the promised ripe fruits. She highlighted the importance of buyers retaining purchase receipts to substantiate any claims of deceit and facilitate necessary actions against dishonest sellers.
