Photo exhibition on environmental disaster begins at JPC
Tuesday, 10 November 2009
A three-day photo exhibition on 'Disastrous Environment: Distressed Humankind' has started in the city's Jatiya Press Club (JPC) Monday, reports BSS.
The main objective of the exhibition is to show how terrible can be the results of ruthless repression on nature, directly affecting all species and the greenery as a whole.
Photo Journalists' Multipurpose Cooperative Society Limited organised the programme and GrameenPhone Limited sponsored it.
State Minister for LGRD and Cooperatives Jahangir Kabir Nanak inaugurated the exhibition while society President Abu Taher Khokan presided over the function. Afroja Soma, an activist of the Society presented 'theme paper' on the exhibition subject.
The exhibition is displaying the dangerous contamination of pure water under the layers of uncouth toxic industrials filth, reckless felling of trees, discolouring of greenery by the poisonous impact of thick smokes from the haphazardly set up factories and lolling flames of Tengratila burning forest resources.
In his inaugural speech, Jahangir Kabir Nanak said the present-day cry of the entire mankind in the face of terrible environmental degradations and disastrous climate change was truly reflected on these photos taken by the photo-journalists defying various odds and challenges.
Referring to the pioneering role of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, now with a mission in this part of the world to protect mankind from the imminent disaster of climate change, he said this exhibition would remain as a complementary thrust to the government's endeavours to arrest the environmental degradation and detrimental affects of climate change.
The programme was also addressed, among others, by Sylhet City Corporation Mayor Badruddin Ahmed Kamran, Elias Uddin Mollah MP, BH Harun MP, World University of Bangladesh Vice-chancellor Professor Dr Abdul Mannan Chowdhury and Society's general secretary Yasin Kabir Joy.
