Bangladesh is a riverine country. There are about 700 rivers in our country. So, no need to say that flood is a common scenario in our country. Every or another year floods visit our country. The most devasting floods occurred in 1987, 1988, 1991,1998,2019 . Sometimes the flood lasts for several months. The main reason of flood is excessive rain fall during monsoon. Besides, most of the country consists of huge flood plain and delta. Tropical storms also causes flood in the coastal areas. Long period of heavy rain also causes the overflow of rivers which causes flood. Some menmade reasons are also responsible for floods in our country. Excessive deforestation, unplanned urbanization, rise of sea level due to global warming, poorly designed and maintained dam and embankments also responsible for flood. The after effects of flood is devasting. The sufferings for all, specially the poor people are beyond description. Many people lost their house, shelter, crops,livestock even their lives. People could not manage food or pure drinking water.The sanitation problem also arise after flood. People also suffer from different waterborne diseases like-cholera, typhoid, diarrhoea ets. Crops and vegetables get destroyed so the prices of daily essentials rises from leap and bound. People who are engaged in agricultural works and the people of coastal areas become the worst sufferers.Proper rehabilitation of the flood victims and creating awareness is also necessary.However flood also does some good. The flood water bring silt which make our land fertile and supply of fishes also become available and cheap after flood.
Sylhet is one of the most beautiful places in Bangladesh. It's a place of natural beauty. Sylhet is widely known for having tea gardens and hills. It is also a holy place as it is known as the place of 360 awlias(saints). Last year I got the opportunity to go to Sylhet. I visited Sylhet with my family. We went there by train. I sat beside the window and enjoy the scenes through the window. I was overwhelmed by the natural scenes. After seven hours long journey, we reached Sylhet. We visited all the places of tourist attractions like- Jaflong which is near the Indian border, Ratargul swamp forest, Lauachara forest, and Tangua Haor. We spent five days in Sylhet. I enjoyed each and every moments of my Sylhet tour.
