Sidir, a natural disaster,
hit our country on the 15th November, 2007. The speed of the storm with 74 km
of radius was in a range between 220 km and 240 km. Strong winds had started
lashing on the coastal zones since the 14th afternoon, uprooting trees and
ripping off roofs of houses. Barisal, Bhola, Patuakhali, Barguna, Pirofpur,
Jhalakathi, Bagerhat, Khulna, Satkhira and jessore were the worst affected
areas of Bangladesh. Sidr has taken away the valuable lives of above 3000
people. The after effect scenery of the southern part of Bangladesh was
unimaginable. The cyclone snatched away the children from the lap of their
mothers. It destroyed houses, crops, vegetables and trees alike along its trail
of devastation over an area of thousands of square kilometres. It destroyed the
richest forest of our country. People had been suffering for want of food,
water, shelter. Government should take necessary steps to build cyclone shelter
to face such havocs and raise public awareness to face natural disasters and
common people should also come forward to help the Sidr victims.
