Dr. M Shahanul Islam: A Category 4 super typhoon attacked the Bangladesh-India South-West coast this week. 70% area of Bangladesh was under stormy weather due to this hazard. Full west profile of Bangladesh faced heavy rainfall, flash flood and severe landfall at each riverbank. Now, the current position of this super typhoon is in the Northern districts of Bangladesh.

Continuing the 3rd month of the coronavirus pandemic in Bangladesh, this typhoon added some extra challenges in front of  Bangladeshi people. A number of infrastructure fall down has been reported from many areas of Southern Bangladesh due to this typhoon. Scarcity of cattle food has prevailed as an aftereffect of this crisis. Although, the COVID-19 brought unemployment problems with a lot of health hazards and Lifestyle falldown in Bangladesh  through these months. 

Still the eye of the typhoon is situated at the border district of Rajshahi, Bangladesh. Mobile network Interruption, miscommunication and basic transportation disruption has also been spotted from the typhoon affected area. Additionally, COVID-19 management maintained It's lock down.

So, it will be hard for Bangladesh to overcome all the situations shortly. Only smart management from the Government and the prior cooperation from local well-off people can help to minimise the destruction of this typhoon.

Hard days are coming ahead. However we can hope that a morning will come with a good day without all these hazards in future. For that, let's cooperate, help each other and start over now.
