Paragraph: Cyclone Aila

                                   “Cyclone Aila”

Bangladesh is a land of natural calamities. Every year earthquake flood, cyclones, drought, etc visit our country. The word ‘Aila means dolphin. Aila is one kind of cyclonic storm.

It was the second tropical cyclone of the 2009 season. It was created by the tidal surge of the Bay of Bengal. Aila violently hit 14 districts in the southwestern parts of Bangladesh and West Bengal in India on 25th May 2009.

The coastal areas of Bangladesh were largely damaged by Aila. It was more serious than Cyclone Aila. The cyclone ‘Aila’ broke all the records of the past. It had caused great damage to crops, property, and wild animals. Houses, cattle, and other animals have washed away. Trees were uprooted and roads and crops were gone underwater. Thousands of people became homeless, shelterless, foodless, and clothless. 

Many people and wild animals died. Our government took proper steps to help the affected people. The government also wanted help from foreign countries. They have also extended their help. During Aila, both people and young students helped the affected people in many ways.  

In fact, Aila was a terrible cyclone.  The people of our country will never forget it.
