Or,
"NATURAL DISASTERS IN BANGLADESH"
Introduction : Bangladesh is one of the. developing countries of South-East Asia. It is visited by different natural calamities almost every year.
Causes of Natural Calamities : The world climate is undergoing a rapid and major change day by day with a negative effect for human habitation on earth.
Cyclone : Bangladesh is a low-lying land. Cyclone or storm hits our land almost every year in summer or in late autumn, It is caused by the low depression created due to the intensive heat of the sun in the Bay of Bengal.
Flood : Flood is the most familiar natural calamity in our country. It is mainly caused by heavy showers of rains in the rainy season. Rivers and canals cannot hold excessive water within and overflow their banks and cause flood. Flood causes a great havoc to life, 'property and crops. Roads, streets and even homes go under water. Thousands of people become homeless or shelterless. They take shelter on house tops, trees, boats and embankments.
Drought and Farakka Barrage : Drought is another natural calamity in Bangladesh. It occurs in summer. It. causes damage to crops almost every year. The chopping of trees at random is the main cause of drought. The irrigation system is not much developed in our country. Besides, the 'Farakka Barrage' of India across the Ganges has created a serious problem for Bangladesh.
Conclusion : These calamities are caused by whims of nature. We have nothing to do against them. What is needed to be one is to take precautionary measures to control these natural calamities. May Allah bless us with His mercy and save us from the curse of the natural calamities.
