Rajuk fills up Shitalakhya bank for housing scheme (September 17, 2009)
Can't believe this. It is a shame for Bangladesh.
Duranta Rajuk should clearly know if this is right or wrong. It is their job and duty. Since the issue has come to limelight, the government should go through the matter again. If it is overlooked or the government fails to take the right decision quickly, matters would go beyond control.
Afreen The government should be ashamed of giving permission to fill up the river.
Mohammed Ibrahim Thanks to The Daily Star for this very useful report. Rajuk must stop this project immediately. It must show the way. We expect that all these kinds of works, which harm our rivers, will not proceed any further.
Saleque Sufi No doubt, there is acute shortage of residential land in Dhaka city. Rajuk has taken the initiative to solve this problem, but they have taken a wrong decision.
Wasim The government should either restore the filled up portion to its previous state or approve all the illegal development (??) projects in natural wetlands/rivers owned by private developers. WDB and BIWTA should act impartially against all types of encroachments.
Saif Iqbal Whatever we say, the last bit is - this is Bangladesh and anything is possible or everything is impossible here!!
Durmukh Now the question is how can one enforce the law effectively, if he himself does not respect the law ?
Azmeri The government approved the project of Rajuk which violates environmental laws. How could it be possible? When protector becomes the grabber, what can we say? It's the best example of our government's failure.
Sharif Hosen This is nothing new for Rajuk. Never ever DIT/Rajuk had any plans whatsoever for improvement of the capital. The ultimate goal of the Rajuk officials and employees is to grab lands for themselves. The Daily Star would do well to give up the fight against the monsters - Rajuk, politicians, mastans, and high-ups. I don't see any hope for this unfortunate nation.
Dr M M Mortayez Amin Rajuk is playing a double standard game. It is filling wet and low land to turn them into high land plots, but at the same time it is preventing other private organisations from doing so.
Hassan Reza Saeed Our politicians always think of gobbling up something. They were sleeping when the river was being grabbed.
