Strong government support is necessary to prevent obstruction

Among the countries most vulnerable to global climate change disasters, Bangladesh stands out. Therefore, it is evident how crucial environmental protection is for Bangladesh. If we cannot preserve the integrity of our environment, it will be self-destructive for us. Since we are not very conscious as a nation, we can easily overlook greater interests for trivial gains. Hence, by neglecting environmental protection, we are not only displaying negligence but also extreme irresponsibility and ignorance.

Golam Sarwar was an uncompromising journalist and editor

In the world of journalism in Bangladesh, everyone regards Gholam Sarwar as a mentor. This esteemed journalist was born on April 1, 1943. On August 13, 2018, he bid us farewell. On the occasion of his 81st birth anniversary, 'Views Bangladesh' organized 'Golum Sarwar Special Issue'. Rashed Mehedi, the editor of "Views Bangladesh," spoke about the illustrious journalistic career of Golum Sarwar, alongside his son-in-law Miah Naeem Habib. He was closely associated with Golum Sarwar during the founding of two newspapers, Jugantor and Samakal.

Golam Sarwar in the newsroom

Editor Golam Sarwar has spent most of his time in the newsroom throughout his life. During his remarkable eight-year tenure at the Daily Samakal, he was predominantly found in the newsroom, even dedicating most of his time there. Unfortunately, his last days were also spent in his beloved newsroom due to illness, from which he never recovered.

A dynamic editor, Golam Sarwar

I have worked under the leadership of six well-known editors in various organisations during my journalistic career spanning over four decades, and among them, the one I remember particularly is the respected Golam Sarwar (1943-2018). I first saw Sarwar Bhai at 1 Ramakrishna Mission Road, at the then-established Ittefaq Bhavan. During that time, I used to write regularly in the Daily Ittefaq's 'Kachikachar Asar' section. This was probably around 1976 or 1977. The late poet Iqbal Hasan, who was then the literary editor of the weekly Purvani published by Ittefaq Bhavan, introduced me to Sarwar Bhai. Besides being the news editor of the Daily Ittefaq, Sarwar Bhai also had overall responsibility for the weekly Purvani for some time. His experience in journalism in Chinese dates back much earlier than mine. On that occasion, my friend Iqbal Hasan introduced me to Sarwar Bhai.
