Probe body visits landslide site: Tk 4.25 lakh handed over to the victims

The government is going to ban human habitation in most vulnerable foothills in the port city, Education and Commerce Adviser Hossain Zillur Rahman yesterday said while visiting the site of Monday's devastating mudslide where 11 low-income people died on Monday.

Bangladesh was born out of conflict thirty-seven years ago. However, there is no figure available on how many women become victims of eve teasing in Bangladesh. However, numbers are available in other forms of sexual violence on Bangladeshi women. As eve teasing does not involve any physical harassment the law refuses to recognize it as a violent act.

Food and Disaster Management Adviser Dr AMM Shawkat Ali Thursday said more than 0.5 million (5 lakh) people, affected by the cyclone Sidr in the country's southwestern region, have received house building grants, reports BSS.

Victims of cyclonic storm Sidr that hit the southern region of the country in mid-November last year, over one lakh people of Sharankhola upazila are still suffering from acute crisis of pure drinking water.
