Projection of violent and porno films in compact discs in different places and shops of Durgapur upazila has created concern among the guardians.

Local sources said some dishonest shopkeepers are showing these films in their grocery shops and tea stalls alongside their business to attract customers.

Besides, some unemployed and educated youths are also engaged in showing the vulgar CDs to earn money. Schoolchildren throng the places to watch the show leaving their classroom teaching. The sources said the many youths rush to these places after sundown to watch the films and spend most of the night to enjoy these obscene films. Locals said they engage themselves in various anti-social activities in the area.

The films are being shown at Durgapur poura bazar and Alipur, Sampur, Dharampur, Uzalkalsi, Kayamajampur, Puran Tahirpur, Kanpara, Badail and Negarkhali area of the uapzila.

Local elite urged the authority concerned to look into the matter and take necessary measures in this regard.
