SATKHIRA, Aug 17:A cycle rally has been held in Satkhira to create awareness on environmental protection.
Education, Culture and Diversity Protection Team and the research organisation BARCIK jointly organised the cycle rally on Monday morning.
The rally started from in front of Satkhira Government Women's College, circled the main roads of the town and ended at the central Eidgah Maidan.
During this time, the participants carried placards with slogans like 'Let's plant trees, save the environment', 'Stop throwing garbage everywhere', 'If the environment does not exist, we will not exist either', 'Stop deforestation', 'Floods, droughts, floods, cutting down trees will cause destruction', 'Plant trees in abundance, cool the hot air', 'We can build a green world', 'Stop water pollution', 'I want a city of flowers, birds, trees and birds'.
BARCIK Programme Officer GaziMahidaMizan, Youth Organizer Jahangir Alam, Education Culture and Diversity Protection Team President ImtiJamil, Former President AbdurRahmanNirob, Members AjmiraKhatun, RafidRahi, Tapas Mandal and Abu Tayer, spoke at the pre-rally inauguration ceremony.
At the same time, they called for combating the effects of climate change, planting trees and creating a pollution-free environment, saying, As citizens, each of us has a responsibility to protect the environment. But we forget our own responsibility and put the responsibility on others. One of the main reasons for the current heat wave is tree destruction. Therefore, more trees must be planted to maintain the balance of the environment. At the same time, everyone must strive to create a pollution-free environment. There is no alternative to awareness for this.
