Private Project

Whistle

Eurotex Group has been using hazardous chemicals for a long time, which have a higher risk of cancer. They release this poisonous effluent into the river without any ETP. Mr. Mizanur Rahman, the deputy director of the Environment Department, does not seal the policy violator factory; rather he agrees to take their illegal offer. One day when he goes to drop his son at school, he becomes panicked hearing the oath taken in the assembly. He recalls his childhood. He also used to take the oath in the school every day… "Always live as an upright, serve the country, and serve the people". The words of oath start echoing in his ears all the time. The sound of whistle frightens him. He thinks his drill teacher is warning him repeatedly. Mizan's anguish increases gradually. He cannot sleep at night, becomes mentally unstable. Finally, he finds the way to get rid of this problem.
