Subject: Prayer for permission to open a relief camp for the flood-affected people.
Dear Sir,
With due respect, we are placing a humble request regarding the current flood situation. We all know that the recent floods have caused a great damage to the people and wealth of this locality. Most of the people have become homeless, and they have taken shelter on river embankments and roadside spaces. Their miseries know no bounds. We are trying our best to collect food and clothes from the people of safe areas. The chairman of our Union Parishad has been giving support. However, we need a safe place to accommodate as many families as possible.
Under the circumstances stated above, we pray and hope that you would permit us to open a relief camp in our campus.
Yours sincerely —
Alindo Hasan

The Padma Bridge
The Padma Bridge is a historic milestone in the infrastructure development progress of Bangladesh. It is a multipurpose road-rail bridge across the Padma river which connects Munshiganj to Shariatpur. The bridge connected the south-west region of Bangladesh to the capital. The total length of the bridge is 6.15 km and width is 18.10 m. It consists of a four-lane highway on the upper deck and a single railway track at the lower deck. A total number of 41 spans were used in the construction of the bridge. Each of the spans weigh 3,140 tons. ‘China Major Bridge Engineering Corporation’ operated as the contractor of the Padma Bridge. In short, the bridge is expected to revolutionize our economy and transportation to a great extent.
Ans. to the Ques. No. 12
Road Accidents in Bangladesh
Roads accidents are sudden sensational incidents that cause injury or even claim lives. A large number of accidents occur in Bangladesh mainly due to careless driving, increasing number of vehicles and lack of awareness. Among the other causes, we can talk about vehicles with fitness, dilapidated roads and diving without license. Due to road accidents, people become crippled and lose their valuable lives. The family members of a deceased person who dies during a road accident suffer in the long run. We must prevent road accidents raising awareness amongst the stakeholders.
