Voice 9, Dhaka Bureau: A BCL
activist washed away while preaching flood warnings in Chattogram. The
floodwaters carried away Junaidul Islam Zarif, a college student, and Chhatra
League activist. He posted flood-related alerts on social media all day long.
When there was an emergency, he provided his mobile number. He
demanded the immediate availability of school and college structures in
Lohagara as refugee facilities in a post on his Facebook page on Monday night.
He issued a dire warning to everyone about the deteriorating
flood scenario. Despite his warning, many others lived, but he did not.
Around 2 a.m. on Monday, Zarif was being carried away by
floodwaters on his way from his house in the Amirabad union of the Lohagara
upazila to a safe refuge. About 12 hours later, his body was discovered. The
local Mohammad Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's son is Zarif. He attended BGC Trust
University to study engineering and computer science. Amirad participated in
Union Chhatra League politics. He served as the Liberation War Students Forum's
district general secretary for Chittagong South.
The bill is just next to Zarif's house, according to Arif Uddin,
vice president of Zarif's neighboring Upazila Chhatra League. They were
departing for a secure location with people there at night since there was more
water in the house. On the way, a hole jumps and is swept away by the current
while crossing. He has been missing ever since.
About 13 hours later, he stated, Zarif's body was found. In
addition, he posted social media updates alerting users to the danger of water
and attempted to move neighbors to safer locations. Zarif had been posting on
Facebook to warn people because it had been raining for the previous three
days, according to Mohammad Riyad, senior joint general secretary of the
Upazila Chhatra League. He has frequently warned locals to remain in a secure
location. Zarif's unexpected passing leaves a vacuum that cannot be replaced.
He and I were fighting in the streets.
