It has the reputation of being the only main Bengali newspaper in the country that catered specifically to the large Bengali community in Pakistan.[24][25] Founded in the 1940s, the newspaper was discontinued decades later due to financial reasons.[26] It was based in the Chittagong Colony, a Bengali neighbourhood in Karachi.
