🌧️🌧️🌨️🌨️Areas adjacent to mosques affected by monsoon: An analysis🌧️🌧️🥲

Rain brings many changes to our lives, especially when it is excessive. Recently, a situation that occurred in our Noon Bazaar is a testimony to this. People's lives have been disrupted due to waterlogging in the area in front of the mosque. This year, due to especially heavy rains, this waterlogging has inevitably occurred.

Background and root causes

Bangladesh faces rainfall every monsoon, but waterlogging has become a common problem due to heavy rains in recent times. There are some root causes behind the waterlogging that has occurred in front of the mosque in Noon Bazaar. First, the inadequate drainage system of the city's canals and rivers. Second, soil and tree cutting, which reduce the water absorption capacity of the soil.

People's lifestyle

Now the question may arise, how has this situation affected people's lives? The water accumulated in front of the mosque is hindering the movement of Muslims. Many are unable to go to the local market to buy even the smallest essentials. It is disrupting social and religious conduct. Muslims are having trouble offering prayers, especially during Friday congregational prayers.

Health and sanitation risks

The health risks to residents in the Engajishwar area are increasing. The risk of parasites in the accumulated water is increasing. As a result, there is a possibility of spreading infectious diseases, which can cause disaster for the entire area. More significantly, there is also a risk of hydroelectric power generation due to waterlogging, which also affects human health and the environment.

Government initiatives and remedies

Now is the time for our state to take initiatives to permanently resolve such a situation. The local government authorities should take immediate and effective steps. It is essential to plan for a more effective drainage system and renovate old drains. In addition, initiatives should be taken to increase tree plantation and environmental awareness.

Public Role

An important thought here is that we all have a role to play in dealing with this situation. If we, individually or collectively, are aware and try to keep our area clean, we will be able to reduce this problem to some extent. Unity, cooperation and awareness among the local people are extremely important.

This waterlogging situation is teaching us how to regulate our relationship with the environment. The water accumulating in front of the mosque due to the effect of the monsoon is not only a visible problem, it is also a test of our awareness. If we do not solve this problem properly, it can become a serious crisis for the future.

Hopefully, these initiatives of ours will be helpful in building a developed and conscious society in the coming days. Through social unity and cooperation, we can make our area a safe and livable place.
