A screenshot of Google Maps showing Bangladesh map.

Firstly, I am a Bangladeshi citizen. I've always love Bangladesh by showing respect to her liberation war, independence, sovereignty, culture and heritage.

I have seen many local guides of Bangladesh perform their responsibilities properly and they write high appreciative content in Local Guide Connect. I am a great admirer and appreciate their hard work .

But unfortunately, I have faced some bitter experience. That's why I have joined in the Local Guide to protect Bangladesh from info-terrorists, who are putting misinformation in the Bangladesh part of Google Maps. I am giving a huge part of my valuable time on Local Guiding apart from my work just to make it a better place for my countrymen.

Giving false and incomplete information in conventional and digital media is considered a punishable crime around the world. Even if someone do not commit the crime intentionally, he/ she has to give an explanation to certain authority. Though, Local Guides have the opportunity of amendment. A tiny amount of wrong information is not acceptable in Google Maps.



But, the recent tendency (Reference: 1 and 2) of some local guides in Bangladesh region clearly shows that they don't care about patriotism rather than their ego, arrogance and impulsive nature. Many Local Guides are practicing wrongdoings by giving misinformation just to get attention and badges. They need to be brought under a proper guideline.



Google Maps and Local Guide policies are right and many countries are following them with good initiative. It has not been followed well in Bangladesh and this caused a huge destruction to its native culture. But no good initiative has been taken to solve it. That is why there is a need for a special policy for Bangladesh. Google has to take responsibilities for resolving this issue.

I won't let anyone to destroy the image of my motherland!

It's the holly duty of every Bangladeshi citizen to maintain the respectful image of Bangladesh everywhere. I am trying to do my part as a citizen of Bangladesh. Anyone can volunteer to help me with such initiative.

For this purpose I have talked to some Local Guides, Journalist, Social workers and Human rights activist in Bangladesh. They have brought up some issues and some ideas in the meeting. End of the discussion it is realized that involvement of Bangladesh Government is needed on this issue.

To make this serious issue fruitful, I like to welcome all the local guides to share their valuable thoughts.

Love Bangladesh and Keep Google Maps Right.
