Bangladeshi is a country that stands to be one of the first to suffer from global climate change, and the time to act is now.

Bangladesh faces high earthquake risk!
I don’t have any experience of earthquakes but on Friday night I really felt it a few seconds at the same time my 14-month babies and his mother felt the same jolted. She run from the bedroom with my kids. Old part of the Dhaka is the one of the risky area for earthquakes. . . .
According to the news paper three moderate earthquakes shook different parts of the country including capital Dhaka on Friday night, and Saturday afternoon. When Muslims were to celebrating their greatest religious festivals Eid-ul-Fitr.

Displacement & Migration
Actually I documented past five years under theme of “climate refugee of Bangladesh”. For my project I went to the north part of Bangladesh located Kurigram district, Musullir Char near Dharla River which is link with the Bank of River Jamuna. People are commonly known Monga area. I documented their lifestyle and struggling position, my observation is that, they are already migrant and displace their original root.
Finally I get down that area, huge number of people around me and looking my camera they are very curious about my camera specially children. May be first time they see this kind of camera. I spent more time and listen their problem. An old age man Rafiqul said, “We only depend on Allah. You are the first visitor to arrive this area, No one can visit our area but we survive, we struggle very inhuman life.”
Rising sea levels and the growing number of natural disasters forced by climate change are already driving migration and displacement. What I am doing for them. I think through my photo stories to make awareness the world’s people who are doing something for them. This is one of my selected photos which I use my blog. October 2005, Kurigrame, Bangladesh

Basundhara Fire
At least seven people died and 50 others were injured and six top floors burnt after a massive fire broke out at the Basundhara Group’s corporate office building above a shopping mall in the capital of Dhaka. The blaze that started around 1.30 pm was brought under control towards evening after firemen spent over 5 hours fighting the leaping flames that spread downwards from the top floors of the 21-storied building. When it was first opened to the public in August 2004 the owners of Basundhara City claimed it to be the largest shopping mall in South Asia and the 12th largest in the world. 13 March, 2009 Dhaka, Bangladesh
