The effects of climate change-rising sea levels and sea surface temperatures which result in greater instances in the Bay of Bengal-have made vulnerable the lives and livelihoods not only of people of coastal area but also great threatens to city like Chittagong and Khulna, two major port cities of Bangladesh.

Scientist predicted that most of the coastal area of Bangladesh will be submerged under water by the year 2050.It is very concerning that it could happen before the timeline. Chittagong, has been experiencing heavy tidal surges these days quite often. Although government of Bangladesh and concerning authority still didn’t pay attention to this climate threat to the cities and coastal area. The old part of the Chittagong city Chaktai, Khatunganj, Bakolia, and Agrabad are worst effected places. Chaktai and Khatunganj are the core of business of the country, is in great danger to extinct under water in recent future.

Millions of people living in those areas and business community of Chaktai and Khatunganj have to fight with tidal surge sometimes twice a day. Many resident of the area said they only witnessed tidal surge in 1991 when a hurricane hit the coastal area of Chittagong. But the tidal surge of recent years rise more than that cyclone of 1991 and remains for couple of days causing great concern for the inhabitants.
