CHATTOGRAM, Dec 17, 2025 (BSS)- Special Assistant to the Chief Adviser Dr. Anisuzzaman Chowdhury has suggested for involvement of internationally reputed experienced experts for proper implementation of proposed Monorail project in the port city.  Prof. Anis came up with the suggestion during a meeting with Chattogram City Corporation (CCC) Mayor Dr. Shahadat Hossain. CCC mayor sought all-out cooperation from the government in implementing the project.  President of the Greater Chattogram Economic Forum and former CCCI President Amir Humayun Mahmud Chowdhury was also present during the meeting held at Tiger Pass city Bhavan this morning. City Mayor informed that the meeting that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between CCC, Arab Contractor and Orascom Peninsula Consortium to carry out feasibility study and execution of Chattogram Monorail Project on June 24 last.   The CCC has sent a letter to BIDA seeking assistance to conduct feasibility study of the project.   The mayor said BIDA has responded quickly and sent letters to LGRD, Road Transport and Bridge division and Power division requesting the ministries to take proper actions in this regard. Dr. Shahadat said such an important project would help greatly to reduce and solve the growing traffic congestions apart from accelerating the investment centering the country’s principal sea port. Dr Anisuzzaman Chowdhury suggested the mayor to involve and engage internationally renowned experts who have experience in implementing such project for the sake of proper and speedy execution of the project.   The Special Assistant to the Chief Adviser also inquired about latest situation and progress achieved in the meantime in solving water-logging problem of the port city.  Mayor informed him that around 60 percent of water-logging problems of the port city have been solved this year following special directives from Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus and coordinated efforts of different organization thereafter.

Spain to set up national climate shelter network: PM
Spain to set up national climate shelter network: PM
MADRID, Dec 17, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced  Wednesday that Spain would set up a national network of climate shelters to  help people survive increasingly severe heatwaves. "Devastating droughts and heatwaves are no longer rare. Some summers, it's  not separate waves we face, but one long heatwave stretching from June  through August. This is now the new normal," he said at a climate conference  in Madrid. "Before next summer, we're going to set up a nationwide network of climate  shelters, using government buildings -- especially from the central  administration -- and making them available to everyone," he added. The central government will coordinate with climate shelter networks already  set up by some regional governments such as Catalonia and the Basque Country,  the Socialist premier said. It will also fund shelters in neighbourhoods "that need them most, where the  heat really hits people the hardest," he went on. Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, has led the way in setting up a network  of climate shelters in libraries, schools and other public buildings with air  conditioning. Spain this year sweltered through its hottest summer ever, with an average  temperature during the period of 24.2C, according to national meteorological  agency AEMET. That smashed the previous record of 24.1C set in 2022, and was the highest  figure since records began in 1961. After a warm autumn, 2025 will "probably" be Spain's third or fourth warmest  year on record, AEMET spokesman Ruben del Campo told a news conference on  Tuesday. The number of heat-related deaths in Spain between May 16 and September 30  hit 3,832, an 87.6-percent increase from the same period in 2024, according  to health ministry figures. It is difficult to establish how many people are killed by rising  temperatures, because heat is very rarely recorded as a cause of death. Beyond immediate effects such as heatstroke and dehydration, heat contributes  to a broad range of potentially deadly health problems, including heart  attacks, strokes and respiratory conditions.
