DHAKA, Oct 06, 2024 (BSS) – Information and Broadcasting Adviser Md Nahid Islam today urged all to be vocal against any kind of propaganda centering Bangladesh, saying that the recent student-people uprising should be properly portrait in the media. “Disinformation is being carried out in different international media including in Indian media centering this movement (student-people uprising),” he said. Nahid, also in-charge of Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology, was addressing a seminar titled ‘The Cross-Border Spread of Misinformation in South Asia’ at a city hotel. He said that attempts are being made to establish such propaganda in the international arena, which is not expected at all.

Floods in Bangladesh leave five dead, thousands stranded
At least five people have died and more than 100,000 remain stranded as devastating floods, triggered by heavy rains and upstream torrents, continue to ravage northern Bangladesh, officials said on Sunday. In Sherpur, one of the hardest-hit northern districts, the water levels of major rivers have surged, submerging new areas and displacing thousands of families. Army personnel, using boats and helicopters, have joined rescue efforts, delivering emergency supplies and evacuating those trapped by the floods. The floods in August in eastern Bangladesh, which left more than 70 dead, caused damage estimated at $1.20 billion, according to a study by the Centre for Policy Dialogue, a leading think-tank. The United Nations and its partners have launched a $134 million humanitarian appeal to provide urgent relief and support to communities affected by ongoing floods and cyclones in Bangladesh.

Long traffic tailback on Benapole roads every day
Locals say that buses and trucks parked on the road cause traffic jams for up to two kilometres from the Benapole International Check-post. Hence, intolerable traffic jams remain near the Benapole Land Port and market area every day except for holidays. “Other drivers park their vehicles at the terminal but local drivers park them on the roads and cause traffic jams.

Russian airfield fire, drone strike reported 300km from Ukraine
MOSCOW, Aug 9, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - A fire broke out at a Russian military airfield hundreds of kilometres from the Ukrainian border, state media reported early Friday, with authorities ordering evacuations in the area due to a "massive" drone attack. The attack in Lipetsk region came as pro-Kyiv forces pressed a new cross-border offensive in neighbouring Kursk, in what appears to be the most significant attack on Russian soil since the conflict in Ukraine began. Official Russian news agencies TASS and RIA Novosti cited the regional emergencies ministry directory in reporting the fire at the Lipetsk airfield, though neither offered a cause. He later reported explosions "far from civilian buildings" as well as damage to a local power facility. Artamonov said preliminary reports suggested six people had been wounded as a result of the attack.
