Make Birth Registration Process Easier

Currently, the birth registration process is particularly important but many people are currently having problems with the birth registration process. The school and college have been closed for a long time due to the global Corona epidemic, but in the midst of the closure of this school and college, a form has been issued to the school and college to create a unique ID for the students. This unique ID is not the problem; the problem is being created when the information is being filled. The need for online birth registration certificates is causing problems.
However, the birth registration certificate of a student is very important and necessary. Currently, a student has to register the birth of his parents before completing the birth registration process, which is causing a lot of suffering. Registration fees for students and parents to complete the birth registration process of a student are creating a financial crisis for the needy. And one thing is noticeable; everyone is going to different places to get this birth registration certificate, not following the health rules. A child is suffering from stress with his parents Due to the complexity of the process of lifting the birth registration certificate.
So, we want a simpler process of registration from the authorities. Steps should be taken to resolve this issue quickly to reduce parental stress and suffering.

Earthquake Awareness

Sudden earthquake is one of the natural disasters and Sylhet has been hit by five earthquakes in a row recently and people have been in a state of panic. It is true that there was no major damage in this mild earthquake but it is a big warning for us. Dhaka is one of the most densely populated cities in the world and at the same time, Dhaka has unplanned urbanization. A strong earthquake could cause 10 percent of buildings to collapse in the capital Dhaka and two lakh people are at risk of death. According to experts, more than six million earthquakes occur every year, Large-scale earthquakes are rare, but they do cause great damage and humanitarian catastrophe. On April 25, 2015, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake in Nepal killed at least 9,000 people and caused extensive damage. Therefore, we need to take appropriate and effective measures before any earthquake occurs. Old and dangerous buildings have to be demolished keeping in mind that houses do not collapse due to earthquakes. And new buildings need to be built in such a way that they can withstand any shock. The foundation of the building must be solid and perfect.
In addition, as soon as the earthquake is felt, the morale of the cold head should be maintained. If you are in the house, you have to take shelter in the corner of the wall, under the hard bed or table. Stay at a safe distance from glass windows and wooden furniture. The safest way is to stay outside under the open sky. However, stay away from buildings and power lines outside the house. The elevator should not be used when leaving the house, and the head should be covered with a pillow or a thick towel. In order to keep the people free from the horror of earthquakes, at the same time, the media has to raise the awareness of the people through strong publicity.
