The inhabitants may experience destruction consequently. With the growth of population, people need more things. They need more food, clothes, accommodation, furniture, educational and medical facilites and  so forth. But a developing country like Bangladesh cannot supply the people with these necessities. A great number of people are deprived of basic educational and medical facilities. Many people are not getting jobs to earn their living. A lot of people are making their homes in the land of cultivation. Vehicles are increasing day by day causing trafic jam in towns and cities. Being unemployed some people are becoming addicted to drugs and involved in terrorism. Besides, a large number of people make their latrines on the banks of rivers and canals and throw waste and filth in open places. Thus the environment in becoming unhealthy. It is the right time to control the over-growth of population. Unless we attempt, to control it to a considerable extent, our environment is certain to face destruction.
