শুভ নববর্ষ 🌼

রঙে রঙে ভরে উঠেছিল সমুদ্র—হলুদ, সাদা আর লালের উজ্জ্বল ছোঁয়ায় নতুন বছরের আগমনকে স্বাগত জানাতে ভিড় করেছিলেন অসংখ্য মানুষ। আনন্দ, উৎসব আর উচ্ছ্বাসের এই দিনে, আমাদের লাইফগার্ডরাও ছিলেন একই রঙে সজ্জিত—লাল ও হলুদের শক্তিশালী উপস্থিতিতে।

উৎসবের আনন্দ যেন নিরাপদ থাকে, সেই নিশ্চয়তা দিতে তারা নিরলসভাবে কাজ করে গেছেন, প্রতিটি সৈকত ভ্রমণকারীর পাশে থেকে। নতুন বছরের এই শুরু হোক আনন্দের, আর হোক নিরাপত্তার প্রতিশ্রুতিতে ভরপুর।

During this Eid-ul-Fitr vacation, Cox's Bazar beaches received nearly 700,000 tourists in just one week, making it one of the busiest periods of the year.

With such a large number of visitors, water safety was critical. Our Lifeguards worked from sunrise to sunset, navigating high tides, managing huge crowds in the water and responding to incidents. Their dedicated presence and coordination played a key role in reducing risks of drowning.

We remain committed to lifesaving and safety ensuring every beachgoer has a good time swimming.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our CSR partner NCC Bank PLC, whose support has been instrumental in sustaining the Lifeguard operations during this peak period.
