COX’s Bazar: Authorities at the main tourist resort Bangladesh cancel the dedicated coast of women and children after social media disappointing gender separation, officials said on Thursday.
On Wednesday afternoon, Bazaar Officials COX inaugurated the coastline on the world’s longest natural sea coast as an exclusive zone for women and children.
But a few hours later, the administration issued a press release that he had “attracted his decision” after “negative comments”.
Abu Sufian, a senior official at Cox’s Bazar, said the section was created following demand from conservative women in the Muslim majority.
“They ask for a special part of the beach for themselves, because they feel embarrassed and unsafe in a crowded place,” he said.
Earlier this month, a rape of a woman’s gang at Bazar Cox triggered anger for women’s safety in the city.
But moving to Cordon from the coastal part of the coast caused a shower on social media, with the critics say it strengthened to the hardline of Islamists who still had a considerable influence in the country.
“This is Talebistan,” Veteran journalists and Commentators Syed Ishtie Reza wrote on Facebook, referring to the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Another commentator compares it with “Mediatantra”, which is translated as hardline Islamic ideology.
The parts of the Bangladesh community remain very conservative, and in recent years, hardline Islamic groups have held a general meeting demanding segregation of sex at work and factories.
Hundreds of thousands of Cox’s Bazaar visits during the celebration period, and the tourism sector has been boomed in recent years.
To provide security to more tourists, the authorities have established a tourism police unit to the coastal cities of patrol.
