Ashiq Chowdhury is preparing to set a record by jumping from a height of 41 thousand feet holding the red-green flag

The Dhaka Times Desk Professional skydiver Ashiq Chowdhury is going to enter the field with a new mission. Ashiq will jump from an airplane flying at a height of 41,000 feet, with the red-green flag of the country's pride in mind.

United Commercial Bank Plc (UCB) is standing by as a sponsor in this effort of Ashiq. In a press conference held at the Economic Reporters Forum (ERF) auditorium on May 21, the daring skydiver himself informed everyone about his plans. Ashiq Chowdhury presented detailed information in his speech at the press conference.

The attempt has been named 'The Highest Ever Skydive with a Flag'. This skydive event will be held on May 25 at an airfield in the United States. Why in the United States? In response to this question, Ashiq said, 'Generally, commercial aircraft fly below 35,000 feet. Specialized aircraft are required to get above it. Also takes favorable weather, which is found in the skies over US airfields.

No one from Bangladesh has ever attempted to jump from this height before. Ashiq has sought blessings from the countrymen for his success so that he can make everyone proud. UCB, the country's leading commercial bank, has come forward with the assurance of all kinds of cooperation as a sponsor in this exciting attempt to create a record in the hands of the country's flag. Abul Kalam Azad, Head of Brand Marketing and Corporate Affairs Department of UCB handed over the Bangladesh flag to Ashiq Chowdhury in the press conference.

In the press conference, Ashiq Chowdhury said, “There is a kind of freedom and thrilling feeling when jumping from the sky. This thrilling feeling always motivates me to overcome my limitations and take myself to new heights. This time I will jump from 41,000 feet. It will be quite difficult because I have to move towards the ground through various obstacles (complex aerodynamic factors). I will have the country's flag in my hand. If I can do my job properly it will be a Guinness record. The respect of the country will also increase. I sincerely thank UCB for supporting me in this adventurous endeavour. I hope I can take Bangladesh to the stratosphere. The space between 10 and 60 km above the earth's surface is called the stratosphere.”

It may be noted that 40-year-old skydiver Ashiq Chowdhury is a career banker. Born and brought up in Jessore, Ashiq's dream of skydiving came from his pilot father. From childhood he started dreaming of flying like a bird in space. Being a professional banker, Ashiq commutes between Singapore and Dhaka. When he gets time after professional work, he indulges in this game of jumping from the sky. Since 2012, he has jumped from the sky almost 30 times. News bulletins.

How to prevent dengue

Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).

Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.

1. Common dengue fever

2. Dengue fever with bleeding.

In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-

1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.

2. Severe headache.

3. Pain behind the eyes.

4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.

5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.

6. Nausea or vomiting.

7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.

In case of dengue fever with bleeding:

1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.

2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.

If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.

On the other hand

Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.

Things to do to prevent Dengue:

1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.

2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.

3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.

4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.

5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.

6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.

7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.

8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
