Paragraph: Population Problem in Bangladesh

➤(154 words)

Bangladesh has an area of only 147,570 square km and its population is more than 180 million. The density of the population is 1000 per square km and the growth rate is 1.40%. This is very alarming for the country. Population growth in Bangladesh is causing the major problem of food and shelter. The cultivating agricultural fields are being divided by these smaller families among themselves. Mills and factories are being set up, and these are occupying a portion of our land. So, our agricultural land is shrinking day by day, and food production is being reduced. If our population grows at the present rate, a day will come when many people will not find any land to build a house on. The scarcity of food will be a serious problem as well. It is time for the Govt. should take the necessary steps to save the country from the dangers of population growth.
