All the activities of the project are expected to be completed within the stipulated time. 4. The subprojects of CCRIP will have some small and localized adverse environmental impact only during construction period which can be mitigated by the appropriate mitigation measures proposed in the environmental management plan (EMP). Adverse environmental impacts due to the project are not significant. The project addressing environmental safeguard issues proposed in the EMP prepared for different component of the project. 5. Site Specific Environmental Management Plan (SEMP) has been introduced for the supprojects awarded during the period and eleven SEMPs has been prepared which will be updated with the contractor’s environmental supervision engineer before commencing of development works at the respective site. 6. Environmental monitoring of different parameters of some specific environmental components have been carried out in the implementation of CCRIP project. Monitoring results compared against the objectives of environmental safeguard or desired outcomes are documented. 7. Based on the changed ‘Sample Table of Contents for environmental monitoring report {(Title: Semi/ Annual Environmental Monitoring Report) of ADB, quantative and qualitative monitoring data (e.g, pollution data of water, air, soil, noise, etc.,) having some specific monitoring parameters/indicators (e.g., DO, PH, BOD, COD, etc. for water and so on)} some changes in environmental monitoring has been carried out to examine ground water quality and noise level in 12 sample construction sites/ camps of 12 subprojects of the project in June 2016; the qualitative and quantitative monitoring for the environmental monitoring considering the same parameters at the respective subproject locations has been carried out semiannually afterwards. 8. Comparisn of Ground Water Analytical Results carried out in June 2016, November 2016 and May 2017 show that small variations in respect to the value of some parameters is found due to the seasonal variation of sample collection which is not significant in terms of environmental quality. 9. Noise level goes beyond the allowable limit at the time of construction activity which is a temporary one that becomes normal just after the completion of construction work. Along with common preventing measures, proper maintenance of vehicles & machineries is being done to minimize/lessen noise level during noisy activities; water spraying is being practiced where dust pollution is occurring. Noise level has been monitored in June 2016, November 2016 and May 2017 respectively at twelve locations of twelve subprojects. 4 Semi-Annual EMR_CCRIP_January-June 2017 10.

IT Officer Rizwanul Haq Acknowledgments e are glad to announce that HRSS is going to publish “Annual Human Rights Bulletin 2018”, focusing on Wsignificant human rights violations of Bangladesh. We hope that the contents of this report will help the people understand the overall human rights situation in the country. We further expect that both government and non-government stakeholders working for human rights would be acquainted with the updated human rights conditions and take necessary steps to stop repeated offences. On the other hand, in 2018, the constitutionally guaranteed rights of freedom of assembly and association witnessed a sharp decline by making digital security act-2018. Further, the overall human rights situation significantly deteriorated. Restrictions on the activities of political parties and civil societies, impunity to the excesses of the security forces, extrajudicial killing in the name of anti-drug campaign, enforced disappearance, violence against women, arbitrary arrests and assault on opposition political leaders and activists, intimidation and extortion are considered to be the main reasons for such a catastrophic state of affairs.

From January to June ’18, this report illustrates that freedom of expression was denied and the constitutionally guaranteed rights of freedom of assembly and association witnessed a sharp decline. Restrictions on the political parties and civil societies, impunity to the abusive security forces, extrajudicial killing in the name of anti-drug war, enforced disappearance, abduction, violence against women, arbitrary arrest and assault on opposition political leaders and activists, coercion and extortion are exposed a very glooming scenario of the overall human rights situation in Bangladesh. The situation reached such an awful state that even the common people feel insecure everywhere. According to the sources of HRSS, between Jan and Jun ’18, at least 303 people were extra- judicially killed; a total of 24 people have been forcefully disappeared by the members of law enforcement agencies. Moreover, the HRSS report finds that a total of 397 females have been raped. Of them, 189 were identified as an adult and alarmingly 208 were children under the age of 16. A total of 148 women were killed in the family feud, 26 females were killed due to dowry- related violence.

    THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad Reg no. 111 Session: 2011-2012 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository DEDICATION To my parents and sister Dhaka University Institutional Repository Abstract As homicide is one of the most comparable and accurate indicators for measuring violence, the aim of this study is to improve understanding of criminal violence by providing a wealth of information about where homicide occurs and what is the current nature and trend, what are the socio-demographic characteristics of homicide offender and its victim, about who is most at risk, why they are at risk, what are the relationship between victim and offender and exactly how their lives are taken from them. Additionally, homicide patterns over time shed light on regional differences, especially when looking at long-term trends. The connection between violence, security and development, within the broader context of the rule of law, is an important factor to be considered. Since its impact goes beyond the loss of human life and can create a climate of fear and uncertainty, intentional homicide (and violent crime) is a threat to the population. Homicide data can therefore play an important role in monitoring security and justice.
