Start van patrouilles in gezamenlijke aanpak illegale visserij

Op dinsdag 7 november vond de officiële kick-off plaats van het project ‘Enhancing MCS for the deterrence of IUU Fishing and assessment on turtle by catch in the coastal driftnet fleet’. Het kustgebied en de binnenwateren van Suriname hebben te kampen met illegale, ongerapporteerde en ongereguleerde visserij (IOO-visserij), wat duurzaam visserijbeheer belemmert en een bedreiging vormt voor de export. Het project volgt drie sporen, te weten: (1) het vastleggen van bij visvangst en interacties met zeeschildpadden door kapiteins van verschillende vissersboten, (2) Monitoring, controle en surveillance (MCS) activiteiten uitgevoerd door het directoraat Visserij van het ministerie van LVV en de Maritieme politie ter bestrijding van IOO-visserij, inclusief het aanhouden van illegale boten (3) het ontwikkelen van een nationaal actieplan om IOO-visserij aan te pakken. Genodigden voor de kick-off, waaronder vertegenwoordiging van de Franse Ambassade, het Visserscollectief, de Kustwacht en WWF-Guianas, verzamelden zich als partners voor een inhoudelijke briefing. Onderdirecteur Visserij Beheer, Zojindra Arjune, benadrukt hoe belangrijk de aanwezigheid van bevoegde instanties op het water is voor de juiste monitoring, controle en surveillance van vissersboten in Surinaamse wateren. De handhaving op het water, met als doel om illegaliteit te bestrijden, staat echter onder druk door een gebrek aan middelen. Arjune benadrukt dat het niet gemakkelijk is om fondsen te vinden en spreekt namens zijn team dank uit richting WWF voor de inzet die is gepleegd en het Franse CRPMEM (Regionaal Maritiem Comité voor visserij en aquacultuur, gevestigd in Frans-Guyana) voor de gezamenlijke aanpak van IOO-visserij in onze wateren. Veilig stellen van de exporten en gelijktijdig beschermen van zeeschildpadden Arjune benadrukt dat de informatie die ingewonnen zal worden door het uitvoeren van de patrouilles ingezet zal worden voor het vergroten van de awareness. IOO-visserij raakt namelijk iedereen omdat het gaat over het veilig stellen van onze exporten, iets dat Suriname juist in deze economisch uitdagende tijden hard nodig heeft. Dhr. Tomas Willems, zeebioloog en verantwoordelijke voor het vastleggen van de interacties met zeeschildpadden en andere diersoorten, benadrukt dat de vereisten die gesteld worden om te mogen exporteren naar bijv. de VS steeds strenger worden en het verzamelen van data essentieel is. Ook refereert dhr. Willems aan het Regionale Actieplan voor de lederschildpad (RAP – lees meer op wwfguianas.org), waarin bijvangst is aangemerkt als de belangrijkste oorzaak voor de achteruitgang van de populatie van deze bedreigde soort. Door onderzoek naar interacties met schildpadden in de kustdrijfnet kan op regionaal niveau gerichter gewerkt worden aan het verminderen van bijvangst. Gezamenlijke inspanning in de strijd tegen IOO-visserij Soraya Wijntuin, Oceans Coördinator van WWF-Guianas, erkent de uitdagingen die moesten worden overwonnen om dit project van de grond te krijgen en spreekt lovend over de medewerking vanuit alle partijen, het is een gezamenlijke inspanning. De directeur van Visserij, mevr. Parveen Amritpersad, benadrukt dat dit project een continuering is en dat er mogelijkheden zijn voor de Kustwacht om simultaan activiteiten uit te voeren. Majoor Bhola, directeur van de Kustwacht, reageert door te verwijzen naar het aangehaalde gebrek aan middelen. Boten moeten worden onderhouden, onderdelen zijn duur en niet altijd voorhanden en voor het uitrukken is brandstof nodig. We zijn er dus nog niet, een stabiele vorm van financiering is nodig voor een meer structurele aanpak van IOO-visserij. Arjune benadrukt dat de ‘willingness’ van de sector er is. We zijn klaar om gezamenlijk de strijd aan te gaan tegen illegale visserij. Illegaliteit vastgesteld bij de eerste inspecties John Somohardjo, Inspecteur bij de Maritieme Politie, neemt de aanwezigen mee om de eerste inspecties onder dit project mee te maken. De boot genaamd ‘Eagle Eye’ vult zich en vertrekt vanuit het terrein van de MAS (Maritieme Autoriteit Suriname) richting de monding. Al gauw komen de eerste vissers in zicht, loeit de sirene en klinkt er ‘politie, vaartuigencontrole’. Direct verschijnt het mapje met de vereiste vergunning en overige documenten. Na een vlotte check wordt de patrouille vervolgd. Bij de derde inspectie is het raak; geen vergunning en zelfs een vals SK nummer. Na kort overleg wordt besloten om de boot in beslag te nemen en het onderzoek voort te zetten. De patrouilles zullen de komende tijd voortgang vinden en met de bevindingen zal een nationaal plan ter bestrijding van IOO-Visserij worden ontwikkeld. Read the full article

26th November 2022

Today in 1839 a cyclone struck the Indian city of Coringa. The cyclone. was so powerful it created a 40 ft high tidal surge. It destroyed approximately 20000 ships anchored in and around the city. However worse still it killed around 300,000 people at the same time, mostly from drowning. After this event the city was moved further inland to prevent a reoccurrence of this event and the shipping a fishing boat sought other anchorage that would provide more protection from these types of events. This cyclone is seen as the second most deadly after the cyclone that hit Bhola in 1970. This area is well known for its tropical storms which develop into cyclones 🌀 and are tremendously devastating. I am adding two pictures drawn at the time of the cyclone which show the damage caused.

Fishermen and warehouse keepers busy in fishing grounds to increase imports

In the middle of the season, the import of hilsa has increased in Chandpur fishing ground. The busyness of traders and workers has increased. Satisfied buyers as prices are within reach. Although hilsa was not seen at the beginning of the season, silver hilsa is being caught in large numbers in the nets of fishermen in the southern part of the country and in the estuary. The caught hilsa is coming to the big station fish ghat of Chandpur. At the same time, the fishermen of Chandpur are also getting more fish in the river than before. As the import of hilsa has increased in the market, activity has returned among the workers and traders. The workers said, 'Before we had no fish, we had a hard time. We are very busy importing fish lately. Hilsa is being imported from Bhola, Barisal, Laxmipur, Alexander, Sandwip, Hatia and other southern parts of the country. At present, 3,000 to 4,000 manas of hilsa is being imported at the fishing ground every day. Hilsa traders said, 'Activity has returned due to higher imports. The losses incurred by the traders will be compensated to some extent. We are all happy that the number of buyers and sellers has increased in the market. Fishermen, traders and stockists hope that if the import of hilsa continues, the losses will be overcome. Mohammad Shabe Barat, general secretary of Chandpur Fishermen's Co-operative Society, said, If it is two more months, our loss will be covered. Read the full article

Bangladesh - an overview on geography, climate and governance

This blog post aims to give the reader an overview of Bangladesh - its urban and rural life form/ formal-informal growth and governance.

GEOGRAPHY & HOW IT SHAPES LIFE

Bangladesh sits beneath the Himalayan ranges from which two rivers - Bhamraputra and Ganges - branch out and run through towards the Bay of Bengal. These two rivers have been flowing through for hundreds of years, accumulating silt and thus have created this 150,000 sq km of land (2/3rd of which is delta) which currently houses 161.4 million (2018) people.

Source: https://water104website.weebly.com/bangladesh-flooding-and-impacts.html

Bangladesh is called a land of rivers as it has about 700 rivers including tributaries. The rivers of Bangladesh are very extensive and affect both the physiography of the country and the lives of the people.

Source: https://www.imchbd.com/library/3

Majority of the rural population relies on agriculture for their livelihood and thus the relationship between land and water is very important and almost instrumental in the functioning of the settlements. The rivers are not only a major source of transportation, fishing and agriculture but also dictate the geography of livable and arable land.

Whenever the dominant crisscrossed rivers change their course, they either emerge new land or cause land erosion at the banks.

Source:

CLIMATE AND ARCHITECTURE

The region has a sub-tropical climate. Here the summers are hot and humid. Monsoon stays for half the year. Winters last a few weeks and are very mild. However, with the changes in climate patterns worldwide, the seasonal patterns show extremities more often than expected.

The basic elements of architecture depending on the climatic context is thus a roof to cover from rain, shading or buffer from the scorching sun and raised plinths to protect from changing water levels. Unlike Europe’s insulating provisions, an in-between/buffer space between the inside and outside is desired. Courtyards act as such an threshold space which then develop into sites of many social and communal activities. They ensure passive ventilation in the hot-humid climate.

Materials depending on the location range from bamboo, mud to brick and concrete. All construction is done by hands and human labour, with minimal use of machines only seen in bigger city construction sites.

CLIMATE CHANGE IN BANGLADESH

Being the biggest delta and sat at the gateway to Indian Ocean, Bangladesh is prone to disasters associated to climatic events. It is estimated that by 2050 17% of its land will be under water due to impacts of climate change, triggering around 20 million climate refugees (Mallick and Vogt, 2012; National Geographic Society, 2016). With the population density of 1,240 people per sq. km. of land area and the associated risk factors, Bangladesh currently ranks as the world’s sixth most disaster prone country (UNU-EHS, 2015).

During monsoon, much of the land goes under water and dry seasons make the same lands farmlands. However, with the rapid change in climate, the seasons no longer follow its regularities. Over the years rates of bank erosion, cyclones and flash floods have rapidly increased in intensity and occurrence. Additionally, border sharing country India controls the water flow of the rivers through their dams as they are closer to the Himalayan sources. During dry season, they retain the water from the Himalayas upstream (leaving Bangladeshi rivers dry) and open floodgates into the Bangladeshi lands during monsoon. These factors contribute to regular non-seasonal flash floods in Bangladesh.

Following are some recent climatic disasters and their damages

1970 great Cyclone Bhola - 300,000 casualties

Cyclone Sidr in 2007- 3,406 fatalities with 2.3 million households damaged

Cyclone Aila in 2009 - 234 deaths

1998 flood submerged about two-thirds of Bangladesh (Huq, 2016; Ahmed et al., 2016; Mallick, 2014).

Although Bangladesh is ranked as 162 out of 199 countries listed by The World Bank (2014) in terms of producing CO2, the impacts of climate change are catastrophic in Bangladesh.

CLIMATE REFUGEE MIGRATION

It is predicted that every one in 45 people (Brown, 2008) and every one in 7 people will be displaced by the impacts of climate change (CDMP II, 2014), making the climate refugees. In the context of Bangladesh, climate refugees can be defined as people who have lost their homestead, arable land or livelihoods in the rural settings after extreme climatic disasters (Ahmed, 2018). In most cases, climate refugees internally migrate to urban areas in search of livelihoods and living such as Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh.

Source:

Dhaka is the epicenter of Bangladesh’s urban expansion and is said to be the fastest growing city in the world – it is currently estimated that 400,000 migrants, mainly poor and from rural areas, continue to arrive each year. Of an urban population of 44 million people in 2010, an estimated 9.4 million people (21.3 per cent) are living in absolute poverty, and 3.4 million (7.7 per cent) are in extreme poverty with consumption levels of around 1,805 Kcal per day or less. Urban migration is largely a result of seeking better educational and employment opportunities, especially in the readymade garments sector. Push factors are also important: While most people migrate for economic reasons, more than 26% do so due to environmental and climate related reasons such as natural disasters, river erosion and recurrent flooding. Many of the migrants are concentrated in urban slums as squatters where they live in poor conditions, with limited access to urban basic services.

Source: Bayes Ahmed, 2018

Because of the fluid nature of the land-water relationship, a sense of “temporariness” or “impermanence” is quite dominant in the way the people function, live and eventually how they shape their built environment.

It notions towards an informal way to organise, plan and live.

GOVERNANCE and PARTICIPATION

Like most south Asian countries, it is rare in Bangladesh that people on the ground contribute to urban development activities or participate in planning or implementation of any development program. They are often treated as “clients” who have no stake or opinion in the structure. The private sector builds and runs the city by dominating the navigation of its resource, skills and labour.

Two decades ago, left parties in Bangladesh would organize such rallies and advocate land reform. In the 21st century, such events are organized by indigenous NGOs that are funded by Western donors. In rural Bangladesh, Nongovernmental Organisations (NGOs) play an instrumental role to incorporate participatory research, participation, and participatory appraisal. NGOs through their innovative, flexible and active promotion of democratic development and the establishment of the citizenship rights in the rural society have to the donors their reliability and effectiveness. This has led to establishing that participatory processes can only be attained by NGOs in such contexts when the conventional development efforts have failed (Barua, 2009).

In Bangladesh, the social mobilization NGO Proshika Human Development Forum (third largest NGO in BD) has occupied the rhetoric of "non-party-politics" and undertaken the organization of the poor (households that live below the Bangladeshi poverty level and own 0.5 acres of land or less fall into the category of poor) into a "grassroots political mobilization" both at the local and national levels. In the 1990s, Proshika, under the auspices of the largest NGO umbrella organization in Bangladesh, the Association of Development Agencies in Bangladesh (ADAB), organized public demonstrations of its members for the distribution of government land and for a pro-poor budget, successfully sponsored NGO women members in village level elections, and increased the participation of poor women in public rallies.

As a result of the donor’s role and support, the NGOs received a total of 379 million dollars through foreign aid that is 34 percent of the total aid flows disbursed to Bangladesh (Transparency International Bangladesh, 2007) in the financial year of 2003–2004, establishing. This initiative was taken to implement participatory development projects and programs for the mobilization of the marginalized people in rural Bangladesh. In fact, with the acceptance of participatory grassroots development and foreign aid, the participatory research and grassroots development toward empowerment and liberation of the disadvantaged people has been marginalized (Rahman, 1995). (note)

Through their programs and links to Western donor nations, NGOs continue to play a very prominent role in national politics. Such visibility, resources, and support from Western donor agencies give the leading NGOs tremendous power to effect changes in the lives of most people they work with. In a country with a very high unemployment rate, the leading NGOs offer the promise of jobs to the youth and the educated middle class. It is estimated that these NGOs employ 200,000 young men and women as fieldworkers. The NGOs have also introduced some novel ideas into rural communities. In contrast to the government bureaucrat who seldom goes for field visits, the educated NGO worker comes in daily contact with the villagers, visiting them in their homes. (note)

The welfare and advocacy of the NGOs straddle several contradictory and competing forces. The intention to help the poor often gets entangled in and constrained by market forces, donor mandates, state policies, national politics, and local power structures. Working in the context of these competing and at times contradictory forces, NGOs have increasingly resorted to "credit" (the extension of small loans for micro enterprises) in the 1990s as a strategy for economic and social development, targeting, above all, women as beneficiaries. (note)

To the reader who assumes that the left should be the ally of the poor, it may appear odd that NGO and not the left has come to occupy this critical role in society. In Bangladesh, the left remained trapped inside a programmatic deployment of Marxist categories of class relations, the revolutionary working class for example; but, in a country that is eighty percent peasant and nonindustrialized, this approach failed to offer any creative solutions to the problems facing the poor. Furthermore, issues of class struggle became entangled with issues of Bengali linguistic and cultural nationalism which began in 1952 and culminated in the freedom struggle against Pakistani domination in 1971. Many of the ideologues of the leftist parties in pre-independent Bangladesh, for whom nationalism was not the real revolution of the working class, failed to appreciate the importance of these cultural and political forces. In comparison to the left, the NGOs have been far more innovative in their relationship with the poor. (note)

CITIZEN-LED/DESIGNED DEVELOPMENTS IN BANGLADESH

A 2013 Rockefeller Foundation report suggested that rather than focusing on a linear vision of “world-class cities”, planners and policymakers should adopt an alternative lens of “hybrid cities”, in which:

… informal economies are directly integrated into city planning and priorities.

This requires inclusion of social movements and grassroots organisations that exist in and around informal economies. A hybridised city looks to light up those areas where communities are already bringing together existing needs, new ideas, vigorous debate and innovative possibilities. John Thakara observes that informal settlements have a “DIY urbanism”, which has implications for urban design, planning and development:

The shadow economy is more fragmented, and more reliant on social networks, than the formal one – but it is no less dynamic for that. Because social practices are a key part of this urban transformation, the tasks of design are mutating.

An integrated approach would recognise how these practices – and associated urban planning processes – respond inventively to the limits and loopholes of rapidly expanding cities. According to the Rockefeller report, such limits include:

… information asymmetries in the labour market that prevent equitable access to jobs; and insufficient access to resources (for example, skills, finance and markets) that enable growth.

Kim Dovey (2020) on his visit to the capital, Dhaka, describes it as a city that has seen growth in an informal organic manner. He uses the word “informal” to describe development that occurs outside the state controlled planning scheme.

The state puts in place a planning scheme and says that this is a residential area or that it has a particular street morphology and then the informal processes take over and a different kind of functional mix and land use emerges. Indeed a different kind of morphology often emerges if there are height limits and setbacks – they are often violated. Therefore, you get a very informal process layered on top of a formal process.

https://msd.unimelb.edu.au/informal-urbanism/events/news/dhaka-trip

https://www.infur.org/about

Informal urbanism is not necessarily illegal, rather it is self-organised. It is not separate from but intersects with the formal structures of state regulation and control, often in reaction to practices of displacement, marginalisation and exclusion. (note)

Architect Marina Tabassum identifies three principles that people live by in such situations (Source Harvard GSD talk):

Negotiation

Appropriation

Optimization (Minimal and basic)

They range from smaller ad-hoc interventions such as

Boat bridges

When water becomes stagnant/or unable to move, Water Hyacinth (Bengali Kochuri pana) grows which makes it impossible for boats to move and transport people. Boat men are left without no earning and people stuck at the two ends. In many villages, it boatmen build a collaborative “boat bridge” by joining their boats together and charge people 2 taka (2p) to use the bridge to cross the rivers.

...housing solutions for the displaced such as

Geneva Camp was designed as temporary accommodation for internally displaced Pakistanis in 1971 – now up to 6 stories. 05 Jul 2019

and trading areas...

temporary Informal trading zones in Old Dhaka

and large scale man-built settlements as...

The informal settlement of Karail with new housing on reclaimed land

And also technological interventions

Kolorob: a participatory platform

Kolorob is an urban innovation initiative stemming from a multi-sectoral collaboration with the communities of two slums in Mirpur, Dhaka. Young people have been integral from the start as mappers and facilitators to collect data about services and involve communities in the application’s design.

The co-design of Kolorob has found significant scope for participatory platforms to enhance access to existing services and employment opportunities in these areas. They also generate the potential for broader capacity-building by linking people to skill development and institutional support where available.

Cyclone Fani Live Updates: Powerful Storm Lashes India’s Coast

• Cyclone Fani, one of the strongest storms to batter the Indian subcontinent in decades, made landfall near Puri, India, on Friday morning, lashing the coast with winds gusting at more than 120 miles per hour. By Friday night, the storm was over coastal Odisha, according to India’s Meteorological Department, and was expected to weaken.

• Tens of millions of people are potentially in the cyclone’s path, and more than a million were evacuated this week from coastal areas. Large sections of coastal India and Bangladesh are threatened by storm surges, and heavy rains could cause rivers to breach.

• The fast-moving storm struck the coast as the equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane. Several hours after it made landfall, the cyclone was downgraded to a “very severe” storm from an “extremely severe” storm.

Aid efforts begin, but full impact is unclear

By Friday night, the full impact of the storm was still being assessed according to local officials. India’s Coast Guard said on Twitter that emergency workers had started providing aid within the first hour of the storm making landfall.

Some relief efforts were hampered by extensive damage. Many large trees were uprooted and toppled onto roads in Puri district, according to a government spokesman, but road restoration work had already begun by Friday night.

Phone lines, internet and electricity were all down in the city, but the government vowed to have services running again soon. At least 160 people were injured by the storm, the government spokesman said.

The military conducted aerial surveys Friday evening to assess the damage, and at least four ships with aid supplies were stationed in affected areas, the navy said on Twitter.

Reports of destruction, and possibly deaths

A relief official for the state of Odisha, where the cyclone made landfall, said Friday afternoon that many trees had been uprooted and houses destroyed, and that there had been unverified reports of deaths. The official, Pravat Ranjan Mohapatra, said the situation would be clearer in a few hours. NDTV, a major Indian news network, reported that three people had been killed.

Along India’s coast, streets were largely empty as residents heeded warnings from the India Meteorological Department.

“In Bhubaneswar, we are all indoors,” said Jagdish Chandra Rout, head of communications for Gopalpur Port Limited. “Nobody is visible on the road, nothing is moving on the road.”

Mr. Rout said he felt the area was much better prepared for the storm than in 1999, when more than 10,000 people died in a cyclone.

“We feel that yes, we may have some difficult days ahead, but no panic,” he said. “We are prepared, we know what is coming when and where.”

Video verified as having been taken in Bhubaneswar that was shared widely on social media shows a wind-whipped crane collapsing on a nearby building.

Others in the city described scenes of destruction. Kalpataru Behra, 25, lives in a roadside shanty in Bhubaneswar. He said that his house and the small snack shop he runs were both seriously damaged by the storm, and that his house was flooded on Friday.

“Tonight we plan to sleep in a community center,” he said. “It is difficult to rebuild. We don’t have money in hand.”

Bangladesh and Rohingya refugees brace for storm’s impact

Aid agencies feared that 1 million Rohingya refugees, a minority group who fled persecution in neighboring Myanmar and now live in makeshift settlements in the low-lying area of Cox’s Bazaar in Bangladesh, were at risk from the cyclone. The United Nations refugee agency said it had pre-positioned emergency tents in the Bangladesh camps.

The aid agency CARE, which works in the area, said Friday that the risk was high.

“The densely populated Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazaar are susceptible to deadly mudslides triggered by torrential rainfall,” said Zia Choudary, the country director of CARE Bangladesh. “The concentration of the one million displaced Rohingya people in Cox’s Bazaar is now among the densest in the world and, even if the region is not hit directly, the impacts of Cyclone Fani will create havoc.”

The storm was expected make landfall in Bangladesh early Saturday.

Mass evacuation in India and Bangladesh

The Indian authorities evacuated more than a million people from parts of the nation’s eastern coast this week.

Using television, loudspeakers, radio and text messages to warn residents about the dangers of the storm, India’s disaster relief agency and meteorological department warned of the “total destruction” to thatched huts in some districts, major damage to roads, the uprooting of power poles and the potential danger from flying objects.

Cyclone Fani is forecast to drop as much as eight inches of rain on northern parts of the state of Andhra Pradesh and on the state of Odisha.

Schools have been closed, fishermen asked to keep off the water and tourists urged to leave the city of Puri, a Hindu pilgrimage site where an elaborate, centuries-old temple could be at risk of severe damage. Airports in the cyclone’s path were closing and hundreds of trains have been canceled.

Along Odisha’s coast, more than 850 storm shelters have been opened, said Bishnupada Sethi, the state’s special relief commissioner. Each can hold about 1,000 people, along with livestock.

“People are reluctant to leave their homes, though, which is problematic,” Mr. Sethi said on Thursday.

In Bangladesh, Shah Kamal, the disaster management secretary, said that by Friday night more than 1.2 million people in 19 districts had been evacuated to cyclone shelters.

The government there, similarly, suspended fishing operations, closed ports and ordered an early harvest of rice crops.

Cyclone’s effects felt on Mount Everest

The cyclone was affecting the weather as far away as Mount Everest, where climbers on their way to the summit turned around after conditions worsened.

At Camp 2, 21,000 feet above sea level, climbers reported an increase in cloud cover and moisture, and high winds tore apart tents. Many climbers from higher up the mountain began making their way down to Base Camp, at 17,600 feet above sea level.

Nepal’s Ministry of Home Affairs banned helicopters from flying in high mountain areas through the end of the weekend and issued a warning to mountaineers and trekkers on the mountain. More than 1,000 people, including climbers, high-altitude guides, support staff and government officials, have reached Everest Base Camp since the spring climbing season began in March.

A history of devastating cyclones

The Bay of Bengal has experienced many deadly tropical cyclones, the result of warm air and water temperatures producing storms that strike the large populations along the coast.

Officials said Cyclone Fani could be the most powerful to strike India since 1999, when a cyclone lingered for more than a day over India’s eastern coast, flooding villages, blowing apart houses and ultimately killing more than 10,000 people.

Since that storm, the authorities in the region have significantly improved disaster preparation and response capabilities, strengthening coastal embankments and preparing evacuation routes, according to a World Bank report. Subsequent major storms have resulted in far fewer deaths.

The state of Odisha was much better prepared for Cyclone Phailin in 2013. About one million people were evacuated, more than twice as many as in 1999, and the storm killed 45 people, the World Bank said.

“All of these efforts bore fruit when Cyclone Phailin made landfall,” the report said.

Cyclone Fani could still bring severe dangers to the region, however, threatening flooding in inland river basins, depending on its path, in the Ganges River delta region, where the Indian city of Kolkata is home to millions.

In 2007, Cyclone Sidr killed at least 3,000 people in nearby Bangladesh, and in 1991, a cyclone killed at least 1,000 there and left millions homeless. In 1970, the so-called Great Bhola Cyclone drove a tidal wave into what was then East Pakistan, in a disaster that killed an estimated 300,000 people, according to the World Meteorological Organization’s World Weather & Climate Extremes Archive.

“Unfortunately this region, especially the delta area, has produced the highest death tolls from tropical cyclones on the planet,” said Mr. Herndon, the storm researcher. “Many people live in regions barely above sea level.”

And Cyclone Fani has already proved “one of the most intense in the past 20 years,” according to Clare Nullis, a spokeswoman for the World Meteorological Organization.

Monpura is a beautiful island in Bangladesh, located in Bhola District. The famous film “Monpura” it’s shooting was completed here. The film was directed by Gias Uddin Salim. After the Monpura film released “Monpura island” became popular.

It’s a small island where lives few peoples and their main profession is catching fish from the river. When storm effects on the island, it becomes horrible.

If you are a thirsty traveler you can go there for a refreshment island tour. There is available mobile network so you don’t need to worry about mobile connectivity. There is no electricity in this island, But generator services are available for the night time. When the sun goes away the full environment turned into a silent island. Only a few peoples keep busy in the tea stall, where you can spend an enjoyable gossiping moment with the fisherman and old man. They discuss the Bangladeshi politics, Cricket, each other problems and the solutions. The island peoples are really awesome with their simple life. They do not dream about the luxurious life like the town people. They just work for their food and living. You can have a great moment if you hear their simple life story.
