Enayet Karim Rajib, Bagerhat Representative:
The public life of Morelganj has become unbearable due to natural calamity. About the third week of Boishakh. There is not a single drop of rain anywhere in Morelganj. As a result, the heat has accumulated and created heat flow. And the heat is filling the whole of Morelganj. The meteorological department says mild to moderate heat waves are prevailing.

This trend may continue for another three or four days and then there is a possibility of rain. There is no air of comfort anywhere. It is hot and hot everywhere. Sometimes it is hot and sometimes it is very hot. There is no life struggle of the working people from this intense heat. The various areas of this huge town consisting of 17 unions and 1 municipality have shown that different species of plants are drying up and dying. However, they have not been able to stop the working people. From dawn they run again in search of income. Van-rickshaw drivers are transporting passengers ignoring the heat and the road. They are relying on the sidewalks to quench their thirst. Some are resting under the trees again in the hope of a little peace. The line of diarrhea patients in hospitals and clinics is getting longer.

Doctors are advising to eat moderate food as well as open space food at this time. However, they also advise to drink plenty of pure water. In this regard, Upazila Health and Family Planning Officer Dr. Sharmi Roy said that there is a risk of heat stroke with dehydration due to extreme heat. It is better for children, the elderly and the fasting people not to go out too much without much need.
