Sobaike Janao | Citizen Reporting Platform

What can be reported

Sobaike Janao is an independent, moderated public-interest reporting platform for people in Bangladesh. Reports can cover public safety, harassment and abuse, extortion and bribery, road and transport problems, utility issues, illegal occupation, unsafe auto-rickshaw charging, and other community concerns. A useful report should explain what happened, where and when it happened, and include relevant supporting information when it is appropriate and safe to publish.

Browse public safety, harassment and abuse, extortion and bribery, road and transport, utility issues, illegal occupation, and auto-rickshaw charging reports.

Responsible reporting and verification

Submit information accurately, in good faith, and with enough context for readers to understand the public-interest issue. Do not present assumptions as confirmed facts, use the platform to make knowingly baseless accusations, or expose unnecessary private information. Moderation helps keep reports clear and relevant, and later updates or responses from relevant parties may add important context to a published report.

A published report is not, by itself, a court judgment, an official government determination, or proof of criminal liability. Readers should consider the report description, location, publication date, available sources, supporting material, responses, and subsequent updates together.

Privacy, response and safe use

Avoid publishing unnecessary phone numbers, identity-document numbers, private addresses, or other sensitive information that could create avoidable privacy or safety risks. If a report directly concerns you, review the platform guidance for response and correction options. Sobaike Janao is not an emergency-response service and does not replace a government investigative authority.

If there is an immediate risk to life or safety, or an ongoing crime, contact 999 or the appropriate authority instead of waiting to publish a report on the website.
