Hill cutting tress felling risks

in the district of Cox's Bazar, Ctg, Bandarban and Rangamati due to landslides, mudslides but exact problem govt did not trace out and did not solve. The main causes of landslides is cutting hill, unplanned human settlement, mostly unauthorized and cutting most the trees, indiscriminate deforestation.,But the govt did not know how many people living unauthorized in hill area and around 20 km from town all districts and there is also environment law, forest dept, administration, but they did not plan way how to settle slum in the area? Risk area must be find out every year and I see most tress cutting, soil loose, so this problem how can solve? Forest dept, environment and all related dept sit for round table talking, find out the solution, otherwise every year died in the rainy seasons.

Please look at the other side of the problem, in fact we do not have internal/domestic displacement policies. The people who are dying they are poor people, displaced by the river erosion, sea submerge, landless or by any economic causes. We must have a policy that how we will place them at least for a piece of safe home. Otherwise they will be continued to loos their life. These people not only die due to land land slide, mind it they also loss their home due fire gutted in urban slum. Due to climate change and other causes, displacement is being increasing and they will take house indiscriminately taking their life risk and ultimately it will make whole society in risk. Government must have a policy for internally displace people.
