Subject: Application to Construct a Bridge Over [Canal Name] Canal 
 
Dear Sir/Madam, 
 
I am writing to formally request you to arrange construction of a bridge over the [Canal Name] canal located in [specific location/village/union, e.g., Village X, Union Y, Upazila Z]. As a resident of this area, we feel a critical need for this infrastructure to improve connectivity, facilitate daily commuting, and enhance economic activities for the local community. 
 
The proposed bridge should accommodate pedestrians, bicycles, and light vehicles. Construction should be made using durable materials to ensure safety and longevity.
 
This bridge will significantly benefit the residents by reducing travel time, improving access to markets, schools, and healthcare facilities, and preventing accidents during monsoon seasons when the canal overflows.
 
I kindly request your approval for this project at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to your positive response. 
 
Yours sincerely, 
 
         ‘X’
    Secretary

HSC Report Writing: The Rohingya Crisis: Life in Bangladesh's Giant Refugee Camps

 

The Rohingya Crisis: Life in Bangladesh's Giant Refugee Camps

 

By [Your Name], Special Correspondent,

The Daily Marhaba

22.01.2026

 

The Rohingyas are a stateless (রাষ্ট্রহীন) Indo-Aryan (ইন্দো-আর্য) ethnic group (জাতিগত গোষ্ঠী), predominantly (প্রধানত) Muslim, originating from Myanmar's Rakhine State who faced severe violence in 2017. A military campaign involving killings, burning of homes, and other abuses forced over 700,000 Rohingyas to flee to Bangladesh. This is seen as ethnic cleansing by the United Nations.

 

The largest refugee settlement in the world, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, is home to more than 1.1 million Rohingya today. The majority reside in the Kutupalong complex, which has a population density of approximately 47,000 per square kilometer. Fire, floods, and landslides can easily destroy the simple bamboo and plastic sheet shelters that people use to live in.

 

In January 2026, a major fire damaged over 2,000 homes and destroyed hundreds of shelters. There is lack of sanitation, clean water, and healthcare, which increases the risk of disease and malnutrition. A lack of access to food plague many families.

 

The crisis continues due to low funding from donors, leading to cuts in food, health, and mental health services. Many refugees feel unsafe, hopeless, and some face severe mental stress.

 

After nearly nine years, a lasting solution is needed. This could include better camp conditions, safe return to Myanmar (which is not possible now due to ongoing conflict), or stronger international efforts to protect their rights.

 

The researchers warned that the conditions, if not improved, could turn the camps into sites of "hopelessness, anger or even violence"—a concern echoed by human rights advocates and Rohingya refugees, themselves.
