Farmers block highway in

Farmers block highway in
Rangpur for water supply
Stage agitations in Moulvibazar for fertiliser
Correspondents from Rangpur, Moulvibazar
Several thousand farmers on Monday blockaded the Rangpur-Dinajpur highway at Shaleyasha near Paglapir Bazar under Rangpur sadar upazilla for three hours demanding water supply for their boro fields.
They put up the blockade at 11.00am, which halted several hundred vehicles on both sides of the barricade that caused huge sufferings to the travellers.
The farmers alleged that the Water Development Board through the sub-canals of the Teesta barrage would supply water for irrigating to their fields during the irri-boro season.
But the WDB suddenly stopped supplying water to the canals for several weeks, which left 10 thousand hectares of boro fields covering four villages in the area dried, they alleged further.
Earlier, the farmers had repeatedly requested the WDB officials to supply water to the canals, which failed to draw their attention, they added.
Seeing the huge damage to their boro fields, the farmers became aggrieved and they put up barricade on the highway demanding water to irrigate their boro fields.
The executive engineer of WDB Rangpur divison, Shahidul Islam, and Rangpur sadar upazilla nirbahi officer, Momatajuddin, along with other officials rushed to the spot and assured the farmers of supplying water to the canals.
With their assurance, the agitated farmers withdrew the blockade.
When asked, Shahidul Islam said there was hardly any flow of water in the River Teesta as India shut all the gates of Gojoldoba barrage in the upstream. Even two thousand cusecs of water were not available in the river during the season. So, we were supplying water to different canals on rationing basis because of the acute crisis of water in the river.
Our Moulvibazar correspondent reports: Around one hundred agitated farmers of Rajnagar upazila in Moulvibazar district put up barricade to a truck laden with fertiliser at Munshibazar area on Sunday night.
They became agitated as they were not finding fertilisers at the local markets to buy for using in their boro field during the peak season.
Later, officials of local administration came to the scene and made the truck released from the fertiliser-hungry farmers, giving assurance of fertiliser supply.
Besides, the farmers at Kamarchak area in Rajnagar upazila also staged demonstration on Monday, demanding fertiliser.
Shafat Mahbub Chowdhury, Rajnagar upazila nirbahi officer, told New Age that only 140 tonnes of fertiliser were supplied for the farmers of the upazila against its demand for 420 tonnes in February.
He added that the higher authorities were informed of the fertiliser crisis.

Launch cancer awareness programme,
say ICDRB doctors
Staff Correspondent
Oncologists and the people involved in cancer care services on Monday urged the government and non-government organisations to launch an extensive cancer awareness programme to prevent and control the deadly disease.
Addressing a roundtable organised by the Cancer Care Programme of the International Centre for Development Research Bangladesh at the National Press Club, they said that people should be made aware of the causes of cancer and importance of early diagnosis.
The roundtable, titled ‘Cancer: awareness raising, prevention and control’, was presided over by the chairman of the ICDRB, Dr Mizanur Rahman Shelly.
He said that as the result of some awareness increased by the campaign, it was seen that people are not considering cancer to be a killer disease, but many are still dying of it without any treatment due to the high cost of services and medicines.
He emphasised the need for raising awareness of the risk factors of cancer and its diagnosis. ‘Training programmes are necessary for the oncologists as well as the nurses who are involved in cancer treatment to handle those unfortunate cancer patients,’ said Shelly.
Cancer is a disease of the cells in the body. Different parts of the body such as organs, bones, muscles, skin and blood are made up of various specialised cells.
There are many different types of cells in the body, and many types of cancer arise from different types of cells. What all types of cancer have in common is that the cancer cells are abnormal and multiply in a ‘manner which is out of control’, said Dr Bimalangshu R Dey of the Harvard School of Medicine.
Each cancer is thought to start first from one abnormal cell, he said. However, certain risk factors are known to increase the chance that one or more of your cells will become abnormal and lead to cancer. The risk factors include chemical carcinogens and radiation.
Some viruses are linked to certain cancers. For example, people persistently infected with the Hepatitis B virus or the Hepatitis C virus have an increased risk of developing cancer of the liver, said experts at the roundtable.
People with a poor immune system have an increased risk of developing certain cancers. For example, people with AIDS or people undergoing immunosuppressive therapy are especially vulnerable, they said.
The executive director of the ICDRB, Enayet Karim, its chief executive officer, Masoodur Rahman Prince, international coordinator of the Cancer Care Programme of the ICDRB, Tanvir Raqib, addressed the roundtable as panel discussants, along with others.

Rich tributes paid to Osmani
Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha . Dhaka
Political leaders and senior citizens Monday remembered commander-in-chief of the liberation forces General MAG Osmani on his 25th death anniversary not only as a great soldier but also as a vanguard of democracy.
He was a short-lived person but left behind the mark of a far-sighted statesman, they said. He was a close associate of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1970 elections that led the country to the War of Independence to bring freedom to the people.
Bangabir Osmani Smriti Parishad organised the event at Osmani Memorial Hall in the city Monday afternoon. The finance minister, AMA Muhith, was the chief guest and the minister for social welfare, Enamul Haque Mostafa Shahid, was the special guest.
Suranjit Sengupta MP, Rashed Khan Menon MP, Ziaul Haque Mridha MP, Nur-e-Alam Siddiqui MP, Gana Forum president Dr Kamal Hossain, president of Jalalabad Association Syed Abdul Muktadir Chowdhury, former secretary Sohel Ahmed and Siddiqur Rahman spoke, among others. President of the Smriti Parishad Syeda Muktada Khwaja was in the chair.
Paying glowing tributes to the memory of the late soldier- turned-politician, the discussants said General Osmani fought the War of Independence organising the liberation forces with professional soldiers and young freedom fighters and won the war fighting it from within the country and outside.
He has no parallel in the country’s fighting gallantry as well as in post-war rebuilding of state institutions and promoting fledging democracy as a member of the country’s constituent assembly.
They said as a soldier he never compromised values in the British army from which he started his career but also in the Pakistan army where he emerged as a big critic of erratic policies and later as an unflinching leader when he joined politics.
He resigned from parliament to protest at the amendment to constitution when BAKSAL was floated compromising multiparty democracy in 1974. The discussants said Osmani’s life and principles would remain an inspiring example in time to come and new generation politicians must learn lessons of selflessness from it.
Nur-e-Alam Siddiqui said Osmani had a strong personality and did not like telling lies and flatteries. During his electioneering when Osmani was a presidential candidate, Siddiqui made some false remarks on Osmani’s challenger late president Ziaur Rahman.
Siddiqui said when Osmani came to know of it, he was very angry and warned him not to make false remarks against his electoral rival. It was the value he had always nourished, Siddiqi said.
The present parliament should also take lesson from Osmani’s politics, he said pointing to deadlock now brewing on the floor, he observed.
AMA Muhith said after Osmani’s early retirement from army, the Pakistan government offered him the post of the chairman of Pakistan Tea Board, but he outright rejected it and later joined the Awami League to open the new front to fight for the cause of the Bangalee people.
Some discussants demanded the observance of Osmani’s birth and death anniversary by the government. A speaker from Narayanganj demanded the naming of an under construction road in the riverine city after his name.
Another discussant demanded the publication of an emblem with photos of his chequered career as a soldier and a politician-cum-statesman.

EU assistance of €3 million for
Rohingyas and CHT people
Staff Correspondent
The European Commission has provided 3 million euros as humanitarian assistance for raising the living standard of the Rohingya refugees and providing food for the people of the Chittagong Hill Tracts who are starving after a severe rodent infestation since mid-2007.
€1 million will be spent for the improvement of the living conditions of an estimated 12,000 Rohingyas, relocated from the Teknaf camp to a plot of land in Leda, said a release of the European Commission in Dhaka on Monday.
It said that €2 million would provide additional food aid to, and help livelihood recovery of, an estimated 40,000 people living in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. They have been coping with a severe infestation by rats which eat their crops since mid-2007, which has led to serious food insecurity.
The initial influx of Myanmar’s Rohingyas to Bangladesh dates back to 1978. They are genuine refugees, considered stateless people by the Myanmar authorities because of their Muslim faith and South Asian ethnicity.
The European Commission’s funds provide emergency food aid channelled through its implementing partners to tackle the increased vulnerability of the Rohingyas, as well as offering livelihood opportunities to help them to begin a new life.
Since mid-2007, the people of the Chittagong Hill Tracts have been coping with a severe rodent infestation, badly affecting the availability of food locally.
Rare seasonal flowering of the bamboo plants (every 40-50 years) has spurred rats to reproduce at an exponential rate, as they feast on the nutritious bamboo fruits and become highly fertile. The armies of rats also devour the crops in the fields as well as any stored grain in the people’s homes.
