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.

  • Chapter 1 Introduction Main Report CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Main Report Chapter 1 Introduction Main Report CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study The Peoples Republic of Bangladesh has a population of 123 million (as of June 1996) and a per capita GDP (Fiscal Year 1994/1995) of US$ 235.00. Of the 48 nations categorized as LLDC, Bangladesh is the most heavily populated. Even after gaining independence, the nation repeatedly suffers from floods, cyclones, etc.; 1/3 of the nation is inundated every year. Shortage in almost all sectors (e.g. development funds, infrastructure, human resources, natural resources, etc.) also leaves both urban and rural regions very underdeveloped. The supply of safe drinking water is an issue of significant importance to Bangladesh. Since its independence, the majority of the population use surface water (rivers, ponds, etc.) leading to rampancy in water-borne diseases. The combined efforts of UNICEF, WHO, donor countries and the government resulted in the construction of wells. At present, 95% of the national population depend on groundwater for their drinking water supply, consequently leading to the decline in the mortality rate caused by contagious diseases. This condition, however, was reversed in 1990 by problems concerning contamination brought about by high levels of arsenic detected in groundwater resources. Groundwater contamination by high arsenic levels was officially announced in 1993. In 1994, this was confirmed in the northwestern province of Nawabganji where arsenic poisoning was detected. In the province of Bengal, in the western region of the neighboring nation, India, groundwater contamination due to high arsenic levels has been a problem since the 1980s.

  • Aquatic Ecology and Dangerous Substances: Bangladesh Perspective
    Diffuse Pollution Conference Dublin 2003 8C Ecology: AQUATIC ECOLOGY AND DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES: BANGLADESH PERSPECTIVE Institute for Environment and Development Studies 5/12-15, Eastern view (5th floor), 50, D.I.T Extension Road, Dhaka -1000, Bangladesh. E-mail: [email protected] ; Phone: +880 2 9354128 ; Fax: +880 2 8315394 Bangladesh had always been predominantly and agricultural based country and in early days pollution was never even felt in this region. Since early sixties, of necessity, industries of various kinds started to spring up slowly. It appears in a survey that ecological imbalance is being caused continuously due to discharge of various industrial wastes into air and water bodies. It has also been found that the intensity of pollution caused by the factories and industrial units depend on their type, location, raw materials, chemical effects, production process and discharge of gaseous, liquid and solid pollutants to the natural environment. All of Bangladesh's sewage and industrial wastes are flushed directly into Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers. There are wide spread fears that as the region develops in industrial infrastructure, industrial pollution will accelerate, compounding the problems posed by raw municipal wastes. About 900 polluting industries in Bangladesh dispose of untreated industrial wastes directly into rivers, although the effluents contain 10 to 100 times the allowable levels permissible for human health. The Ganges-Brahmaputra delta is the largest delta in the world and the rivers contribute one-third of the global sediment transport to the world oceans. The rivers flow through 10 per cent global population and carry untreated rural, urban, municipal and industrial wastes to the Bay of Bengal.

  • ERR) Mongla Economic Zone
    Environment Review Report (ERR) Mongla Economic Zone. Introduction : The Bangladesh Economic Zone Authority (BEZA) is an agency of the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) and is administered out of the Prime Minister's Office. The GoB is in the process of creation of Economic Zones (EZ) across the country for both export and local market oriented industries based on the cluster principle of the collection of industries, brought together geographically for the purpose of promoting economic development. Mongla Economic Zopne in Bagerhat is one of them. Drawing from numerous successful examples from around the world as well as Bangladesh‟s own positive experience with the EPZ model, GoB has launce an effort to develop a new EZ paradigm for Bangladesh based on good economic and social practices in their operation and commercial principles in their development and management. In doing so, the GoB is seeking to leverage its own resources through public-private partnership in the financing, developing, management and servicing of EZs. A key objective of EZs is to stimulate efficient use of skilled labor, land, infrastructure, energy and other resources as well as to facilitate backward, horizontal and forward linkage with local industries. It is expected that the EZs will trigger a significant flow of foreign and domestic investment leading to generation of an additional economic activity and creation of employment opportunities. The overall objective of the project is to develop BEZA in to a fully functional organization equipped with the rules and regulations needed to develop zones that will facilitate growth in investment in the emerging manufacturing and services sectors of the economy with the aim of generating employment.

  • Local Government and Rural Development in the Bengal Sundarbans: an Inquiry in Managing Common Property Resources 1
    Agriculture and Human Values 7, 2 (Spring 1990), 40-51. Local Government and Rural Development in the Bengal Sundarbans: An Inquiry in Managing Common Property Resources 1 Harry W. Blair Harry Blair is professor of political science at Bucknell University, and has held appointments at Colgate, Cornell, Columbia and Yale Universities, as well as at the United States Agency for International Development. He has conducted academic research and has served as a consultant in South Asia for more than 20 years, focusing on rural development policy, natural resource management and decentralization. In the subcontinent, his primary geographical concentration has been on Bangladesh and, within India, on Maharashtra and Bihar. ABSTRACT Of the three strategies available for managing common property resources (CPR)--centralized control, privatization and local management-this essay focuses on the last, which has proven quite effective in various settings throughout the Third World, with the key to success being local ability to control access to the resource. The major factors at issue in the Sundarbans situation are: historically external pressure on theforest; currently dense population in adjacent areas; a land distribution even more unequal than the norm in Bangladesh; and a decentralized local government structure initiated in the mid-1980s. The first three factors have encouraged the local population to view this CRP as a frontier to be exploited, rather than as a resource to be preserved for sustained yield. Thus to the extent that the new local government structure proves to be democratic and responsive to popular needs, it would most likely accelerate destruction of the Sundarbans, using the area as a cheap and easy way to provide some livelihood to the rural poor and landless.

  • Delineating the Service Area Of
    J. Asiat. Soc. Bangladesh, Sci. 44(2): 137-148, December 2018 DELINEATING THE SERVICE AREA OF CYCLONE SHELTER AND VULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDS USING NETWORK ANALYST TOOL: A CASE STUDY ON SOUTHKHALI UNION OF BAGERHAT DISTRICT, BANGLADESH KHANDAKER TANVIR HOSSAIN* AND MD. HAFIZUR RAHMAN Department of Geography and Environment, Jagannath University, Dhaka-1100, Bangladesh Abstract In Southkhali Union of Bagerhat district in Bangladesh about 47% of the total population is living beyond the service area of cyclone shelters (CS) not only for the carrying capacity of CS but also for the accessibility. Location-allocation tool of Network Analyst tool in ArcGIS determined the service area of each CS in the study area based on its shelter capacity and accessibility. People residing outside the service area of cyclone shelter are highly vulnerable due to low elevation of land and poor housing structure. The location-allocation tool of Network Analyst provided the proper evacuation plan that would identify the shelter location for each household or cluster of population and the evacuation route also. It would also help to find the proper location to build new shelters for unserved community. Key words: Accessibility, Network analysis, Service area, Vulnerable households, Location- allocation tool Introduction Bangladesh is the sixth most disaster prone countries of the world where 97.7% of the total population of 97.1% area are at risk of multiple natural calamities including cyclones (World Bank 2015). Cyclone and storm surge are the most devastating among all the disasters in Bangladesh which devastates lives and properties in coastal areas. Geographic location, the unique natural setting of the country and its tropical monsoon climate make the country more vulnerable to cyclones and storm surges (Paul 2009).

With vast low lying areas, Bangladesh is considered as one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to climate change. Strengthening the resilience to climate change is pivotal in all its development and poverty alleviation activities. The city of Khulna, being located in the coastal area of Bangladesh, and influenced by tides from the Bay of Bengal, is highly vulnerable to climate change. The increasing salinity intrusion into the city waters and the anticipated sea level rise might have a major impact on the water resources and the water and drainage infrastructure of the city and its surrounding areas. The city experiences frequent water logging during the rainy season.
