Beach workers and rescue workers have been struggling to cope with the onslaught of tourists on the beach.
Cox’s Bazar beach is under the precaution of Meteorological Department No. 2 due to the effect of cyclone ‘Ashani’. And the effect of the cyclone is that the waves of the sea become rough. The intensity of tidal water has also increased due to wind. Such a time is very dangerous for the beach. Sifat, a rescue worker from the beach, said that it is difficult for tourists from all over the country to understand this. He said that the ‘guptakhal’ created on the beach is panic, the guptakhal created by the waves in the sand is not permanent. When it is in one tide it moves to another tide.
Mohammad Shakil, a tourist from the capital Dhaka’s Mohammadpur, said, ‘We came to the beach with great difficulty. I was under house arrest in Corona for a long time. The cost of one trip is also a lot. When you come here again, if you are forced to go to sea for various reasons, then your mind becomes bad. “Beach workers and rescuers are trying to stop us from going to sea, but we can’t accept that,” he said. ‘
Mahbubul Alam, a beekeeper appointed by the Beach Management Committee of the Cox’s Bazar district administration, said: Today, on Tuesday, the sea is already rough and the pressure of tourists is more on it. I couldn’t even eat lunch to handle the tourists. Yet the consolation did not cause any accident. ‘
