Safe sea beach demanded

Some cultural personalities yesterday demanded specific action plan to ensure safety of tourists from any accident at the sea beaches of the country.

The government along with different private organisations should launch vigorous programmes to create awareness among the tourists to avoid accidents on sea beach, they said.

They made the call placing an 11-point demand at a press conference at Dhaka Reporters' Unity (DRU) yesterday, organised following the death of three artistes -- Abid Shahriar, Mustakin Mahbub, and Ashik Mustafa -- in Cox's Bazar sea beach on July 29.

The conference styled "Safe sea beach for tourists" was jointly organised by The Advertising Club, Dhaka and Advertising Agencies Association of Bangladesh.

The other demands include deployment of adequate number of law enforcers in beaches, circulation of cautionary message in all the hotels and rest houses, setting up of medical centres beside sea beaches, and 24-hour surveillance mechanism.

Sammilito Sangskritik Jote President Nasiruddin Yusuf Bachchu and theatre personality Ramendu Majumdar, among others, spoke at the press conference.
