During the Hortal Hour’s | Dhaka
BNP called the hartal to press for a number of demands, including withdrawal of cases against party chief Khaleda Zia and others leaders filed in connection with the recent clash in Munshiganj over building an airport on Arial Beel and probe into the stock market crash to bring to justice the market manipulators.
During the Hortal hour BNP leaders and activists faced obstruction by the law enforcers in enforcing the day-long shutdown in capital Dhaka and much across the country on Monday.
Vandalism and chase and counter-chase marked the countrywide dawn-to-dusk shutdown on Monday, leading to the arrest of at least 53 people. Over 50 people were reported injured in clashes across the country.

Rafiqul has been forced to move 22 times in as many years, a victim of the
annual floods that ravage Bangladesh. There are millions like Rafiqul in
Bangladesh and in the future there could be many millions more if
scientists’ predictions of rising seas and more intense droughts and storms
come true. Bangladesh is a country that stands to be one of the first to
suffer from global climate change, and the time to act is now.
Climate change already touches every corner of the world and every aspect of
people’s lives. As global temperatures increase, its impact will become even
more extreme. The impact of climate change worldwide is already causing food
and fuel crises. World Bank and IMF have sounded a larger alarm pushing 100
million people in low-income countries deeper into poverty.
In Bangladesh we are seeing rice-crises first hand every day. The long
queues on the roadside subsidizing rice sale centers are probably an
indication of the coming hunger, when 30 million people will face
starvation. In Bangladesh natural disasters like SIDR, river erosion,
drought and flood mass migration of people from the countryside to the
cities. Experts say a third of Bangladesh’s coastline could be flooded if
the sea rises one meter in the next 50 years, creating an additional 20
million Bangladeshi displaced from their homes and farms.
